4th Sunday of Lent

JN 3:14-21 In explaining himself and his mission , Jesus alludes to a very odd story from the Exodus tradition. When ven-

omous snakes attacked the discontented people in the desert (Numbers.21), the God who had forbidden the peo-

ple to make images and who condemned . Aaron’s golden calf as an idol , told Moses to mold a serpent of bronze

that people could look on and be healed.

The images are quite different : the calf represented a foreign god and the serpent a demonic figure

But why would God command the people to gaze on the serpent ?Rudolf Schnackenburg says his book. The Gos-

pel of John, that “ Jewish mystics explained looking at the serpent as looking upon evil in order to turn away

from it.” Gazing on the repulsive , frightening serpent was a symbol of admitting sin and seeking God’s

help . It’s almost an anticipation of the first six of Alcoholics Anonymons’12 steps which take people in

recovery from recognizing their powerlessness to asking God to transform them.

When we take the idea deeper, it becomes clear that the only reason to look at sin, to think about it, or to

As the Forgiving Victim, the concept of sin is “ derived from forgiveness, which massively precedes them and

enables them to be understood as that which can be forgiven,” If forgiveness were not a possibility, there would

be no reason to speak of sin because no change, no transformation could ever take place; things would could ever

take place; things would simply be as they are, miserably or fortunate as fate would have it. God

Moses to fashion a serpent , a symbol of sin and misery, and have the people gaze on it. When they faced it, they

could understand that it was not the only possibility open to them. God was greater than the snake.

Similarly, the life Jesus offered was stronger than death: there was no reason to fear.

Jesus’ statement to Nicodemus, that the Son of Man must be lifted up, was the first of the first of three times he

spoke of being lifted up in John’s Gospel (3:14, 8:28, 12:32). These three statements are John’s counterparts to

the Synoptics’ three passion predictions but in John’s Gospel they all speak of glorification rather than humilia-

tion and suffering. Jesus uses the image of Moses raising up the serpent as a foreshadowing of how he will raised

up, how his cross will be a sign of victory and the offer of eternal life.

The perspective John presents is suffused with God’s love and benevolence toward all of creation. A

translation of Silvano Fausti’s book. Una Comunidad Lee Evangelio de Juan, suggests: “In contemplating the

Crucified One we are purified of the serpent’s poisonous lie that distorted our knowledge of the Father and

made us flee from him.” Jesus Christ, glorified on the cross, is the ultimate sign of human faith and divine love.

Today’s Scriptures simply proclaim God’s great love. Chronicles recounts that when God’s insider messengers

couldn’t get through to the people, God allowed the exile and foreign potentate to be the instruments of drawing

them back into the fold, Paul had to invent vocabulary to try to describe God’s love . Jesus explains that God’s

entire plan for the world is to share eternal life. That’s how much God loves the world.

“ May the Holy Spirit lead us on a true journey of conversion, so

that we can rediscover the gift of God’s word, be purified of the sin

that blinds us, and serve Christ present in our brothers and sisters in

need.”

Pope Francis

Almsgiving in Lent

During the Lenten Season we asked to pray, fast and give alms.

Lent is a perfect time for us to pray for those in need– whether it is for their

material , emotional or spiritual needs.

And when you practice fasting and abstinence during these forty days, please

remember those of our neighbors who are hungry , and consider

sharing your gifts with them.

One way to do this is by making a gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal,

which supports programs that help to feed people in our community each year

through Catholic Charities and our Parish Outreach programs.

For more information about Catholic Ministries Appeal, please visit

CatholicMinistriesAppeal.org or call 516 –678-5800 ext 296.
