Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor. “Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.

I Want to See Jesus We are near the “end” of Jesus’ time. His “hour” has come. We are in Jerusalem, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and people are flocking to Jesus, believing in him. Some “Greeks” say “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Then we have Philip and Andrew telling Jesus that people want to see him and his response is not, “Well, bring them over here,” but a long speech about losing one’s life, grains of wheat, servanthood, etc. Not a very straight forward answer to a simple question. What John is telling his community and yes, us, is that if you want to “see” Jesus, look at what his servants are doing. I see Jesus often in the parishioners of the parish who give so much of themselves. This past week I especially saw Jesus in a woman who has raised a family and worked for decades at our food pantry and at 95 years old says she needs to retire because she “just can’t do the stairs as well as she used to.” Look at the people around you and perhaps, even at ourselves, who serve Jesus and are where he is. Bernadette Farrell’s song “All That Is Hidden” encapsulates much of this Gospel passage. The final verse speaks to me of how we can see Jesus. If you would rise with me, rise through your destiny: do not refuse the death which brings you life, for as the grain in the earth must die for rebirth, So I have planted your life deep within mine. I invite you to listen to the entire song to reflect and pray on today’s Gospel. —Fr. Jim Caime, SJ, is the pastor of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Kansas City, MO.

Misna čitanja – 5. korizmena nedjelja (B) “Evo dolaze dani – govori Gospodin – kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim sklopiti novi savez. Ne savez kakav sam sklopio s ocima njihovim u dan kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske, savez što ga oni razvrgoše premda sam ja gospodar njihov – govori Gospodin. Nego, ovo je savez što ću ga sklopiti s domom Izraelovim poslije onih dana – govori Gospodin: Zakon ću svoj staviti u dušu njihovu i upisati ga u njihovo srce. I bit ću Bog njihov, a oni narod moj. I neće više učiti drug druga ni brat brata govoreći: ’Spoznajte Gospodina!’ jer svi će me poznavati, i malo i veliko – govori Gospodin – jer ću oprostiti bezakonje njihovo i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.” Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje! Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti! Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni! Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene! Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim! Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati. Braćo: Krist je u dane svoga zemaljskog života sa silnim vapajem i suzama prikazivao molitve i prošnje Onomu koji ga je mogao spasiti od smrti. I bī uslišan zbog svoje predanosti: premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati naviknu slušati i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju začetnik vječnoga spasenja. Riječ Gospodnja. U ono vrijeme: Među onima koji su se došli klanjati na blagdan bijahu i neki Grci. Oni pristupe Filipu iz Betsaide galilejske pa ga zamole: “Gospodine, htjeli bismo vidjeti Isusa.” Filip ode i kaže to Andriji pa Andrija i Filip odu i kažu Isusu. Isus im odgovori: “Došao je čas da se proslavi Sin Čovječji. Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: ako pšenično zrno, pavši na zemlju, ne umre, ostaje samo; ako li umre, donosi obilat rod. Tko ljubi svoj život, izgubit će ga. A tko mrzi svoj život na ovome svijetu, sačuvat će ga za život vječni. Ako mi tko hoće služiti, neka ide za mnom. I gdje sam ja, ondje će biti i moj služitelj. Ako mi tko hoće služiti, počastit će ga moj Otac. Duša mi je sada potresena i što da kažem? Oče, izbavi me iz ovoga časa? No, zato dođoh u ovaj čas! Oče, proslavi ime svoje!” Uto dođe glas s neba: “Proslavio sam i opet ću proslaviti!” Mnoštvo koje je ondje stajalo i slušalo govoraše: “Zagrmjelo je!” Drugi govorahu: “Anđeo mu je zborio.” Isus na to reče: “Ovaj glas nije bio poradi mene, nego poradi vas. Sada je sud ovomu svijetu, sada će knez ovoga svijeta biti izbačen. A ja kad budem uzdignut sa zemlje, sve ću privući k sebi.” To reče da označi kakvom će smrću umrijeti
