Third Sunday of Lent
The Cleansing of the Temple
Today we read of Jesus cleansing the Temple. This story has a sense of urgency. It is not about anger; it’s about transformation. Jesus is saying: “No more business as usual. There is not much time left. Be converted, be cleansed because the reign of God is at hand.”
As we continue our Operation Rice Bowl journey let us remember in prayer that all humanity has been made in the image of God. Through our actions we must express that each person is precious and that the lives and welfare of all people are priorities. May our fasting keep us mindful of the hunger of the people of the world. May our almsgiving assist Catholic Relief Services as we learn about programs that care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Tanzania.
