In this third Sunday in Lent, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, and for all those caught in conflicts around the world. We also pray for those who seek to bully or impose their beliefs on others by force. May the Spirit of God work to soften their hearts.

Please take a few minutes to check out the special appeal for help for Eastern European refugees.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

As we begin another Lenten journey this week, we see in today’s Gospel lesson the devil tempting Jesus. We too have our devils in this world, some human, some not. Know that as we walk through our dark places, Jesus is with us. And he’s been tempted in ways that we can only imagine.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

Today’s Gospel lesson is the origin of the phrase “turn the other cheek”. Sounds good in theory, but oh, so hard to do. We are all faced with situations where our capacity to love is sorely tested. Follow the voice of Jesus, the voice of hope and love.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

Today’s Reading from 1 Cor 12 reminds us we are all part of a community, and we all have individual parts to play within that community. As parts of that community “If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.” (1 Cor 12:26). Have you talked to your “ear” lately? How’s that “foot” doing this week? Reach out. Share God’s love with someone.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
