8th Sunday - C (February 27, 2022)

 

“Fullness of the Heart”

Luke 6: 39-45

 

Lent begins later this week. 

 

We often plan on what to give up for Lent.

 

What if we push ourselves a little further, and focus not on what to give up but on what we should make room in our hearts for?  It might still involve the giving up, but it takes us to the next level. 

 

In fact, it’s even better to ask not “What?” but “Who should we make room in our hearts for?”  Last week, when we listened to an earlier section of this same Chapter 6 from Luke, Jesus invited us “to be children of the Most High,” and to “be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”

 

With God’s grace, the holy Season of Lent will make our hearts somewhat fuller with God.
