As we near the end of Lent, this week’s Gospel reminds us to not judge others before looking inward at our own sins.
The readings during the fourth and fifth weeks of Lent are generally concerned with the identity of Jesus. This was the central question for the religious leaders who would eventually have Jesus put to death.
This week we hear the well-known Gospel story of the Prodigal Son, in which the father embraces his son who has returned, much to the dismay of his other son.
The power of the prophets is not focused on those who are humanly closest to them. Their power is directed as God determines. God’s interests are much broader than ours.
This week marks the third Sunday of Lent, in which the Gospel recounts the story of Moses and the burning bush.
Loving the person who has harmed us in spite of the harm is precisely what constitutes forgiveness. How forgiving am I?
This week we mark the second Sunday of Lent. In the Gospel, we hear about Jesus going up on the mountain to pray with Peter, John, and James.
My mother lost two girls and rarely talked about them. Yet on her deathbed she said, “I’m going to see my girls.” Even in silence, they were always with her. So it is for many women.
Psalm 19 uses a wide vocabulary to praise God’s Law. The Lord’s directives are essential for our lives. We need his words for access to the Spirit and to life.
Now that we are in the midst of the Lenten season, parishes will be offering several opportunities to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
