Reminder for the 3rd Sunday of Lent, March 20, 2022

Exodus 3:  The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.

1 Corinthians 10:   These things happened as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil things, as they did.

Luke 13:  Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future.

    Isaiah 58:  Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.
    1 Corinthians 2:  I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
    Matthew 5: “… Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”


    Beauty of any kind lifts the soul above the humdrum to the beatific. It gives every ordinary life the sheen of possibility.
