St. Anthony, w/ Sts. Simon and Jude 6:00 pm Ministry THE PATH TO FREEDOM Most of us, if we were asked “Does the phrase ‘the Ten Commandments’ appear in the Bible?” would likely get it wrong, because the answer is “no.” “The Ten Commandments” is a post-biblical, phrase that developed along with an image of God as police officer that is not found in today’s passage from Exodus. The first phrase is the key: God is the one who brings us out of slavery; following God’s law or commands is our path to freedom. The moneychangers whom Jesus drove from the temple were not explicitly breaking any of the commandments, but neither were they helping people to find God’s path to freedom as they came to worship at the temple. This is an important Lenten lesson for us. We need to stop asking ourselves whether or not we are breaking specific rules or regulations and instead examine our lives to see if we are truly following a path to God’s freedom through Christ.

Today is the 3rd Sunday of Lent. We are now at the midway point of Lent then we will celebrate Jesus’ triumph in the Resurrection. As we continue through this Lenten let us continue reflecting on how we change our lives. Perhaps it was doing something for others, giving up some habit you think needs changing in your life, or spending some time with our Lord. Whatever it was/is, let us be mindful of the ultimate goal which is to make God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit the center of our lives. Remember with God all things are possible. However, all things are also in His time not ours. Let us learn patience, perseverance of heart, and above all show our love to other. Lent is a time for reflection—reflecting on how we have been living our lives, how have we been serving our Lord as well as others! In today’s first reading of Exodus, God delivers to Moses the Ten Commandments. Perhaps we should take time to reread this reading and reflect on how we are truly living our lives. Are we living them according to these Commandments, or are other things more important than celebrating the Lord’s Day, or do we bear false witness to our neighbor? The Lenten season is also a time to come to Reconciliation. Why not use the Ten Commandments as our measure for giving a good confession so we can come to the table of the Lord with a clean heart, mind, and soul. In the second reading of St. Paul to the Corinthians, Paul tells us that the Jews look for signs, and the Greeks look for wisdom. However, as Christians, we proclaim Christ crucified. He continues by telling us that Christ crucified is a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. He tells us that the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. Let us reflect on times when we did something foolish. What was it, why did we choose to do it, was God in the midst of our decision? In today’s Gospel, Jesus goes to the temple and finds those that sold oxen, sheep, doves, as well as the money changers. He takes a whip and begins to drive them out of the temple and shouts at them saying “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace”. His disciples recalled the words of Scripture “Zeal for your house will consume me”. The Jews wanted a sign so they could believe, but his reply was “destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up”. How often do we look for a sign from God to see if He is listening to us? As we continue through the week, let us look for the signs that come from God… someone being given a diagnosis that they have cancer, they ask for prayers and we pray for that person, then the Doctor’s come back to say “it wasn’t as bad as we first thought”. There are many signs out there of God’s existence, we just have to be still and listen and watch for them.
