A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s first reading from the Book of Exodus, we hear of
the hardships endured by the people of Israel on their wilderness journey out of Egypt. The wilderness is a demanding place
for human life. Just trying to survive can seriously test our
faith. In the Israelites’ journey away from a life of slavery and
oppression, harsh conditions challenged their trust in the God
who liberated them. But their transition brings them closer to
God, and they are constantly reminded of the Lord’s gracious
provision and nurturing. Good stewards believe the Lord’s
presence transforms their own “wilderness” experiences into a
place of divine mercy and nourishment. Reflect on your own
“wilderness” experiences. How has God been present for you
and nourished you in times of transition?

THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work.”
This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to assist 96 families, providing 2,524 pounds in food, and paid $24,427 for utility and other miscellaneous bills, etc. Thank You!
We should commit ourselves to ‘Eucharistic coherence,’ that is, we should be conscious that people cannot
receive Holy Communion and at the same time act or speak against the Commandments, in particular when
abortions, euthanasia, and other serious crimes against life and family are facilitated. This responsibility applies
particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals.
--Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, Pope Francis
THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
CATHOLIC SOCIAL
TEACHING
We experience at the depth of our being a deep
hunger and thirst for the living God. We are
invited to know that need, but not to despair as
our ancestors did in the desert. God does feed
and nourish us. God does quench our thirst, if
we let ourselves be open to God’s transforming
love. Like the Samaritan woman we are called
to be open to the waters of life given to us in
Christ. Like her we are called to be agents of
God’s transformative love in our world. Who in
our lives needs us to be an agent of God’s love
for them? What in our world is in need of God’s
action and transformation?
Experimentamos en la profundidad de nuestro
ser un hambre profunda y una sed por el Dios
viviente. Estamos invitados a conocer esa
necesidad pero a no desesperar como nuestros
ancestros lo hicieron en el desierto. Dios nos
alimenta y nos nutre. Dios satisface nuestra sed
si nos abrimos al amor transformante de Dios.
Como la Samaritana, estamos llamado a estar
abiertos a las aguas de vida que nos da Cristo.
Como ella, estamos llamados a ser agentes del
amor transformante de Dios en nuestro mundo
¿Quiénes en nuestras vidas necesitan que
seamos un agente del amor de Dios para ellos?
¿Qué en nuestro mundo necesita la acción y
transformación de Dios?
