Newsletter – Third Sunday of Lent Year B

Third Sunday of Lent. Year B. Sunday, 3 March 2024
The lines of the First reading, today set the scene for everything that follows. That first sentence is the key to the understanding of the ten commandments that follow.
God gives the Law to Moses saying, “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.” The “Words” from God that follow, which we know as the commandments are given to God’s people in order to free them, to protect them and keep them in a good relationship with the Lord. (God is declaring to us that he is the God of liberation; God gives us this law to make us free).
God’s law is not an onerous duty or a burden. it frees us to be everything we are created to be.

A VOCATION VIEW:
“We proclaim Christ, Crucified!” (1 Cor 1:23) In the Crucifixion, we find strength. In the Cross is our triumph. Rest in His mercy that you might proclaim Him in all that you say and do. Jesus cleaned out the temple of money changers. He was zealous for the Sanctity of His Father’s House and his Father’s loving will; He was authoritative. He was doing what He had to do, even though it involved risk, danger, insult, and wonder. Such is a vocation.
