3rd Sunday of Lent - C (March 20, 2022)

 

The Lord is Kind and Merciful

Luke 13: 1-9

 

These words of the responsorial psalm consoles and encourages us.

 

Imagine if God “dealt with us as our sins merit” (Psalm 103:10).

 

Instead, as Jesus teaches us through the Gospel parable, God creates us and continually sustains God’s gift of life in us. 

 

But we do not always live the way of God.  Even then, like the gardener, in our Savior, God guides and nourishes us with God’s grace, so that we, the fig tree, might bear fruits.
