He came to Jesus at night and said to him, \u201cRabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.\u201d Jesus answered and said to him, \u201cAmen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.\u201d Nicodemus said to him, \u201cHow can a person once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother\u2019s womb and be born again, can he?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cAmen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, \u2018You must be born from above.\u2019 The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord God, I come before you today with Easter joy in my heart. I thank you for your marvelous work, the Resurrection. Help me, with your grace, to \u201cput on the new self, created in God\u2019s way in righteousness and holiness of truth\u201d (Eph 4:24).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Pharisee Nicodemus:<\/strong> Who was Nicodemus? He was a Pharisee, a spiritual leader of the Jewish people. The Jewish leaders had so much authority that Nicodemus was called \u201ca ruler of the Jews.\u201d He was evidently an honest man, clear-sighted and sincere. We know this because he was able to recognize that \u201cno one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.\u201d In addition, he came to Jesus genuinely searching for answers, and not just to win an argument. He was a man of faith, acknowledging God\u2019s action in a mere carpenter\u2019s son. And yet, Nicodemus had doubts, as we do. He did not understand the spirit; the <em>Law<\/em> seemed more trustworthy in its literalness. He came to Jesus at night, fearful of what others might think. Though his faith was growing, he was still flesh born of flesh.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Rabbi Jesus:<\/strong> In this passage, Jesus seems not to belong to this world of clay and dust. He worked signs in the name of God. He spoke of God\u2019s invisible Kingdom as if he could see it. When asked about earthly birth, he responded with the signs of water and rebirth When Nicodemus spoke of flesh, he spoke of Spirit. And yet Jesus\u2019 feet were always planted firmly on the ground, aware of human limitations; he was quite aware that Nicodemus was \u201camazed that I told you, \u2018You must be born from above.\u2019\u201d Today, he invites us to faith, to contemplate heavenly things, to lift up our hearts. As St. Paul says, \u201cWhatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things\u201d (Phil 4:8).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Born of the Spirit:<\/strong> \u201cThe term \u2018Spirit\u2019 is translated from the Hebrew word <em>ruah, <\/em>which, in its primary sense, means breath, air, wind. Jesus indeed uses the sensory image of the wind to suggest to Nicodemus the transcendent newness of him who is personally God\u2019s breath, the divine Spirit\u201d (CCC 691). \u201cThe symbolism of water signifies the Holy Spirit\u2019s action in Baptism, since after the invocation of the Holy Spirit it becomes the efficacious sacramental sign of new birth: just as the gestation of our birth took place in water, so the water of Baptism truly signifies that our birth into the divine life is given to us in the Holy Spirit\u201d (CCC 694).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, I recall the words of the Mass: \u201cLift up your hearts; we lift them up to the Lord!\u201d With the grace of Baptism as my springboard, I ask you to increase my faith and lift my eyes and heart towards heaven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will renew my baptismal promises, trusting in the Holy Spirit to help me fulfill them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fr Erik Burckel, LC was ordained to the priesthood in 2022.
