Fifth Sunday of Lent

“The raising of Lazarus was a signal that Jesus was the long awaited and promised Messiah

who had finally come!”

On this Fifth Sunday of Lent, we hear of Jesus’ seventh and final sign in the Gospel of John: the Raising of Lazarus from the dead. The raising of Lazarus is paradoxical when we reflect on it. In this miracle, Jesus restores life to Lazarus, but while this miracle gives life to Lazarus, this miracle also takes Jesus’ life away and seals Jesus’ death, because from that day on Caiaphas, the Pharisees, and chief priests of the Sanhedrin planned to kill Him (John11: 45-54). The name Lazarus is very interesting. Lazarus comes from the Hebrew name, Eleazar, which means “God has helped” or “God is my help.” The raising of the dead is an impressive sign. However, raising the dead signaled more than just Jesus’ unique power. It pointed to the fulfillment of Jewish eschatological hopes. Ancient Jews linked the raising of the dead with the coming of the Messiah. The coming and appearance of the Messiah would be manifested by miracles, particularly the miracle of raising the dead to new life. Thus, the raising of Lazarus was a signal that Jesus was the long awaited and promised Messiah, who had finally come! For this reason, many people began to believe in Him.

To help us reflect on today’s reading from the Gospel of John, I have selected the painting Raising of Lazarus (1530) by Aertgen Cleasz van Leyden. In this painting, we see town of Bethany in background. Jesus stands in the center, with Martha and Mary standing on His left and right. Lazarus is seen coming up out of his tomb, dressed in white burial cloth. In this image, we can also see all the Jews who had come to Mary, seen what Jesus had done, and began to believe in him (John 11:45).

What struck me about this painting was the person kneeling in between Jesus and Lazarus. He is untying Lazarus’ hands. In the Gospel, we read, “the dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands. So Jesus said to them, “untie him and let him go.” Who is this kneeling figure? This kneeling person is an older man with white hair and a beard. Although the Gospel of John does not mention who unties Lazarus, van Leyden depicts this person to be St. Peter. The kneeling figure bears the traditional attributes of St. Peter. Why would van Leyden choose St. Peter? I think he chose St. Peter on purpose because St. Peter represents the Church. Christ, as God, has the power to perform miracles, and it is through the Church that Christ acts bestows God’s grace. Through the Sacraments, God gives us life and frees us from sin and death through the Church. St. Augustine teaches, “What’s the use of the Church? The Church, to which the Lord said, ‘What you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’” Look at Lazarus’ case. He came out, all tied up. He was already alive, but not yet walking around freely, being still entangled with bandages. So what does the church do? The Church does what the Lord told the disciples, of course; ‘Unbind him and let him go.’” Just as Jesus commanded that the burial cloths that were wrapped around Lazarus' hands, feet, and face be untied, so Christ continues to untie and free people through the Church, to uncover their true selves. Many times we are covered by sin. The cloths of sin tie us, bind us, and cover us. Through the Church, these cloths of sin can be untied, so that we can rediscover our true self, which is created in the image and likeness of God.

Please pray for all catechumens and people preparing to receive the Sacraments at Easter. May Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, help us with her maternal care, and may St. Joseph pray for us. Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Fr. Bob’s Briefs

En este quinto domingo de Cuaresma, escuchamos del séptimo y último signo de Jesús en el Evangelio de Juan: la resucitación de Lázaro de entre los muertos. La aparición de Lázaro es una paradójica cuando reflexio-namos sobre ella. En este milagro, Jesús le restaura la vida pero mientras que este milagro da vida a Lázaro, también le quita la vida a Jesús y sella su muerte, porque a partir de ese día Caifás, los fariseos y los sumos sa-cerdotes del Sanedrín planearon matarlo (Juan 11: 45-54). El nombre de Lázaro es muy interesante, proviene del nombre hebreo Eleazar, que significa "Dios ha ayudado" o "Dios es mi ayuda". El resucitar a muertos es una señal impresionante. Sin embargo, el resucitar a los muertos significó algo más que el poder único de Jesús. Señalaba el cumplimiento de las esperanzas escatológicas judías. Los antiguos judíos vinculaban la resurrec-ción de los muertos con la venida del Mesías. La venida y aparición del Mesías se manifestaría mediante mila-gros, particularmente el milagro de resucitar a los muertos a una nueva vida. Así, la resucitación de Lázaro fue una señal de que Jesús era el Mesías esperado y prometido, que finalmente había llegado! Por esta razón, mu-

cha gente empezó a creer en El. Para ayudarnos a reflexio-nar sobre la lectura de hoy del Evangelio de Juan, he selec-cionado la pintura La Resu-rrección de Lázaro (1530) de Aertgen Cleasz van Leyden. En esta pintura, vemos la ciu-dad de Betania en el fondo. Jesús está en el centro, con Marta y María de pie a su izquierda y derecha. Lázaro es visto subiendo de su tumba, vestido con una tela blanca fúnebre. En esta imagen, tam-bién podemos ver a todos los judíos que habían venido a María, vieron lo que Jesús había hecho, y comenzaron a creer en El (Juan 11:45). Lo que me impactó en esta pintura fue la persona que se arrodilló entre Jesús y Lázaro. Está desatando las manos de Lázaro. En el Evangelio, lee-mos: "El hombre muerto salió, atado de pies y manos con vendas de entierro. Entonces Jesús les dijo: "desatadlo y déjadlo ir". ¿Quién es esta figura arrodillada? Esta per-sona arrodillada es un hombre mayor con pelo blanco y bar-ba. Aunque el Evangelio de Juan no menciona quién desata a Lázaro, van Leyden describe a esta persona como San Pedro. La figura arrodi-llada lleva los atributos tradicionales de San Pedro. ¿Por qué Van Leyden eligió a San Pedro? Creo que lo eligió a el a propósito, porque San Pedro representa a la Iglesia. Cristo, como Dios, tiene el poder de hacer milagros, y es a través de la Iglesia que los actos de Cristo otorgan la gracia de Dios. A través de los sacramentos, Dios nos da vida y nos libra del pecado y de la muerte a través de la Iglesia. San Agustín enseña: "¿Para qué sirve la Iglesia? La Iglesia, a la cual el Señor dijo, 'Lo que desates en la tierra será desatado en el cielo.' "Mira el caso de Lázaro. Salió, todo atado. El ya estaba vivo, pero todavía no caminaba libremente, aún seguía envuelto en vendajes. Entonces, ¿qué hace la iglesia? La Iglesia hace lo que el Señor le dijo a los discípulos, por supuesto; "Así como Jesús ordenó que se desataran las manos, los pies y el rostro de Lázaro, así Cristo continúa desatando y liberando a la gente a través de la Iglesia, para descubrir su verdadero yo. Muchas veces estamos cubiertos por el pecado. Las telas del pecado nos atan y nos cubren. A través de la Iglesia, estos lienzos de pecado pueden desatarse, para que podamos redescubrir nuestro verdadero yo, que es creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios. Por favor oren por todos los catecúmenos y personas que se preparan para recibir los Sacramentos en la Pascua. Que Nuestra Señora, Desatadora de Nudos, nos ayude con su cuidado materno y que San José ore por nosotros.

Vivat Jesus! ¡Viva Jesús!

Informes del Padre Bob

Ewangelia według świętego Jana mówi nam dzisiaj o ostatnim, siódmym znaku czynionym przez Jezusa – Wskrzeszeniu Łazarza. Jeśli się nad tym zastanowimy, wskrzeszenie Łazarza ma bardzo ambiwalentny charakter. Podczas, gdy z jednej strony, owy cud przywraca Łazarza do życia, równocześnie zabiera życie Jezusowi. Od tamtej chwili bowiem, żydowski Sanhedryn postanowił zabić Jezusa (Jan 11:45-54). Imię „Łazarz” pochodzi od hebrajskiego słowa: „Eleazar”, czyli: „Ten, któremu Bóg pomaga”. Wskrzeszenie umarłego jest niesamowite. Wskazuje ono wszakże na coś więcej, aniżeli tylko wielką moc Chrystusa. Jest dopełnieniem żydowskich proroctw o czasach ostatecznych. Izraelici uważali, że cuda (szczególnie budzenie zmarłych do nowego życia) zwiastują rychłe nadejście Mesjasza. Dlaczego właśnie wskrzeszenie Łazarza było dla Żydów znakiem, że

długo oczekiwany Mesjasz nareszcie się pojawił! W ramach naszych dzisiejszych rozmyślań, odnalazłem niniejszy obraz Aertgena Cleasza van Leydena, pod tytułem: „Wskrzeszenie Łazarza” (1531 rok). W tle widzimy Betanię. Pośrodku obrazu stoi Jezus, a Maria i Marta po obu Jego stronach. Widać Łazarza wychodzącego z grobu, owiniętego w płótno. Widać również Żydów przychodzących do Marii. Byli oni świadkami tego, co uczynił Jezus i tak zaczęli w Niego wierzyć (Jan 11:45). Moją uwagę tutaj najbardziej przykuł starszy, brodaty mężczyzna klęczący między Jezusem a Łazarzem. Człowiek ten rozwiązuje ręce Łazarzowi. W Ewangelii czytamy: „I wyszedł zmarły, mając nogi i ręce powiązane opaskami, a twarz jego była zawinięta chustą. Rzekł do nich Jezus: Rozwiążcie go i pozwólcie mu chodzić!”. Chociaż Pismo nie mówi nam, kim jest ten starszy mężczyzna, van Leyden nadał mu tradycyjne atrybuty świętego Piotra. Moim zdaniem, artysta wybrał właśnie tego świętego, gdyż symbolizuje on cały Kościół. Jako Bóg, Chrystus czyni cuda i przez Kościół udziela nam Swoich łask. Poprzez obecne w Kościele Sakramenty, Pan uzdalnia nas do nowego życia, uwalniając z więzów grzechu oraz śmierci. Święty Augustyn pisze tak: „Jakie znaczenie ma Kościół? Jezus powiedział o nim: Co zwiążesz na ziemi, będzie związane w Niebie, a co rozwiążesz na ziemi, będzie rozwiązane w Niebie”. Spójrzcie na Łazarza. Wychodzi on z grobu żywy, lecz wciąż skrępowany. Kościół w tej sytuacji postępuje zgodnie z nakazem, jaki Chrystus dał uczniom: „Rozwiążcie go i pozwólcie mu chodzić!”. Dokładnie tak samo Pan uwalnia ludzi z różnorakich więzów, pomagając im odkryć ich prawdziwą tożsamość. Często krępuje nas grzech. Kościół rozwiązuje te więzy, dzięki czemu poznajemy, kim naprawdę jesteśmy – Dziećmi Bożymi, stworzonymi na Jego obraz i podobieństwo. Pamiętajcie proszę w modlitwie o wszystkich naszych katechumenach i innych osobach, przygotowujących się teraz do przyjęcia Sakramentów w Wielkanoc. Święta Maryjo Rozwiązująca Węzły, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
