What is Reconciliation?
“To reconcile” literally means to bring back together, to be reconnected.
Jesus wants each of us to be free, full of joy in being reconciled and healed
through the merciful love of God. Reconciliation (also known as Confession
or Penance) is a special healing sacrament in which God calls us to be reconciled, to be forgiven of our sins, to repair the bonds that are broken by our
sins. It is a celebration of God’s amazing grace, welcoming us back home.
The Sacrament is basically our examining our conscience, confessing our
sin, asking for forgiveness, being forgiven and then committing ourselves to
changing our lives and helping others change theirs.
“You are mine.
You are precious in my eyes.
You are honored and I love you.
Do not be afraid. I am with you.”
Isaiah 43: 1-4

5th Sunday of Lent Gospel:(John 12:20-33)
SCRIPTURE
Some Greeks who had come to worship at the
Passover Feast came to Philip, who was from
Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we
would like to see Jesus.” Philip went and told
Andrew; then Andrew and Philp went and told
Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has
come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Amen, Amen, I
say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and
dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and
whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I
am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor
whoever serves me.
READINGS
“ I am trouble now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father,
save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I
came to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a
voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it and will glorify
it again.” The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; but others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus
answered and said, “This voice did not come from my
sake but for yours. Now is the time of judgement on this
world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. An
when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to
myself.” He said this indicating the kind of death he would
die.
Prayer: God of the cross and resurrection, you ever
beckon us to the glory of new Life. May we willingly give
ourselves over to following Jesus to the cross, and one
day share in the fullness of his glory in everlasting Life.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Gospel Message no one wants to
talk about.
Jesus tells us today that we are to be
dying grains of wheat, producing
much good fruit. What does this mean
for us today? Not that we are supposed to become doormats, letting the
world walk all over us. Nor does it mean we are to
actively seek out suffering, to “play the martyr” and
tell everyone around us about all the sacrifices we
are making. Not even Jesus wanted to suffer!
Today’s Gospel provides an absolutely core message for us about being Christians. Yet, this message is rarely discussed in “polite circles.” The message? If we follow Jesus, we will still suffer.
(Anticlimactic, right? Think about it some more and
you’ll see it is actually pretty deep.) Following Jesus
or not, we are still going to have heartache, pain,
death.
That said, Holy Week and today’s Gospel also tell
us this: though we will suffer, God promises to
transform. We will grow, become. And God will also
transform others through our sufferings. Die and
know that God brings forth new life, through you.
