Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman,
the hour is coming when you will worship
the Father neither on this mountain nor
in Jerusalem. But the hour is coming, and
is now here, when true worshipers will worship the
Father in Spirit and truth." - Jn 4:21, 23a
Third Sunday of Lent
"But I tell you, if you do
not repent, you will all
perish as they did!"
Who wants to repent? Who wants to change habits,
make sacrifices, or chart a more challenging course?
Repentance isn't the easy road. Few of us are
naturally drawn towards it. Perhaps that's why
Jesus had to speak with such boldness in today's
Gospel. Repent, or perish. Change, or suffer and
die. Not what we like to hear. Not what we like to
do. But we would be foolish not to listen. The
entire Gospel message is certainly one of mercy and
compassion. Jesus was the first to show forgiveness
to sinners, and he always called others to do the
same. He suffered and died so that WE wouldn't
have to suffer eternal death. But the fact remains
that we can still CHOOSE to "perish." We can
choose to stay rooted in our favorite sins and to
cling tightly to the comfortable vices that stifle a
virtuous life. When we won't let go of them, then
we don't truly repent. But Jesus urges us to change
so that we can enjoy the eternal benefits of his
mercy. He doesn't want us to perish! As we hear in
today's psalm, "He redeems your life from
destruction, crowns you with kindness and
compassion." Repenting--turning back to God--puts
us in the right position for this spiritual coronation.
Lent is a time especially built for repentance. It is a
season that calls us not only to recognize where we
need to change, but to actually set those changes
into motion. Lent isn't just a pious liturgical ritual.
These forty days are a response to Christ's stern
warning that we need to repent in order to save
our souls. Let's not pretend to be exempt from the
message. Lent is meant for ALL of us.

Respect Life
Married Love – “Husbands and wives should take up the burden
appointed to them, willingly, in the strength of faith… Let them implore the help of God with unremitting prayer and, most of all, let
them draw grace and charity from that unfailing fount which is the
Eucharist. If, however, sin still exercises its hold over them, they are
not to lose heart. Rather must they, humble and persevering, have
recourse to the mercy of God, abundantly bestowed in the Sacrament
of Penance.” – Bl. Pope Paul VI, Humanae Vitae, no. 25. –
