News and Coming Events
Third Sunday of Lent

  Sunday, March 7th, 2010
Luke 13:1-9

Reflection:

In this Sunday’s gospel Jesus urges us to repent pointing out the rather dire consequences of continuing on paths opposed to God’s will. From the very beginning of creation God has always placed before mankind two choices – good or evil, the former leading to life, the latter to death. History is the results of these choices. Each of us too in our time is faced with the same choice. The season of Lent affords us an opportunity to choose prayer, fasting and almsgiving to a greater degree than normal, keeping us more securely on the path of life and goodness.

The passage ends with a parable illustrating the forgiveness and mercy of God who is always ready to accept and forgive us. No matter how long or how many times we may have failed him, our Father still receives us with joy as we turn back to him.
