Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
The hour is drawing near. Next Weekend we will hold Palms and begin our recalling of the Christ - Over or final expression of the same faithful love revealed in the first Exodus. The hour is close Jesus in today's Gospel. The time is coming in the First Reading when the words of Jeremiah will be fulfilled for the comfort of the people of Israel in bondage. They had broken the bond of love God initiated with them after the Exodus from Egypt. They had not followed the precepts of the law and had taken their land as a sign of their own identity rather than the sign of God's identifying them as God's own beloved.
|
There is then a kind of second exodus out of bondage and instead of an external law, this new covenant will be written deeply on the hearts. They will know from deep inside them that they are God's people and God will be their one God. God promises to forgive and forget, only recalling the love which created them and then recreated them as the Holy People of God’s own heart. They will know this and keeping the laws of fidelity and reverence will be expressions of faith rather than fear. The law of love was written in Jesus heart and He grew to accept His mission of giving life to the point of giving His own life to begin the process of completing creation. He will fall into the earth and rise to bring us and all to the glorification of the creating and redeeming God.
|
|
He loved His life and mission to the end: He was obedient to His own person and place. What was written on His heart, we share through Baptism. We know somewhere in our souls that true living does come through loving our lives in Christ.
