A Reply to Love

from the foot of the cross

 


For the 5th Sunday of Lent, Sr. Elizabeth reflects on Jeremiah 31 and the faithful, covenantal love of the Lord.  She reviews the five previous Old Testament covenants from Adam to David and explains how God established a new, unbreakable covenant with his people.

Sr. Elizabeth also calls to mind how Jesus, at the last supper, spoke of his blood of the "new covenant", referring back to Jeremiah 31. In Jesus, God reveals how He holds nothing back from us in making us His own, enfolding us in His Trinitarian love.
