THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
Merciful and gracious is the Lord,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
— Psalm 103:8
„God of new beginnings, you are the ever-patient gardener who nurtures our cracking and dried branches in the water of your love and the food of your compassion. Binde up our broken spirists in your grace and hope: nourish us by your grace and sustain us in your love that we may realize the harvest of your justice and peace in our lives.”
Last Sunday we gathered with Peter, John, and James at the mountain of Transfiguration and were summoned to listen to God’s chosen Son. This week the scriptures draw us into the mystery of just who that God is. The first reading,
perhaps one of the best known in the Bible, recounts the story of Moses and the burning bush, when the mysterious divine name is revealed. The responsorial psalm is a hymn extolling the attributes of God. Saint Paul and the Lord Jesus describe a God who judges and metes out punishment. No matter the lengths to which the scriptures go, we know that no amount of words will ever come close to capturing who God is. Our lives and our Lents are really journeys toward that mysterious One who will one day welcome us into the heavenly home that awaits those who put their trust in God alone.
