Parish Question for the Week

Re-read the gospel passage for the Third Sunday of Lent, Luke 13, 1-9. In the reading, Jesus recalls two tragic events; he tells a parable of a fruitless fig tree to emphasize the need to be always prepared for the final day.

Take a moment to reflect on how God is speaking to you in the above gospel passage, attracting the attention of your heart. Then consider the following question for reflection during the week before our next celebration of the Eucharist together. Ask yourself "so what?" What difference does this gospel passage make in my life and that of the faith community at Prince of Peace? Meditate on this. Decide to change one thing before our next weekend Eucharist together.

Parish Question of the Week: In today's Gospel, we hear God's wish that we take advantage of the challenge to restore wholeness in our lives with the help of a calendar. We are halfway through Lent. The fig tree in the Gospel needed pruning and fertilizer to come back to life. Perhaps we need to apply a hefty does of prayer and let the discipline of fasting and denial prune away some bad habits. Three weeks is not a lifetime, yet it might be enough to prove to ourselves that we can revive our souls to a healthier spiritual life. God waits for us to make our move. Reflect on these thoughts and bring this effort to our next Sunday Eucharist together as a parish community. (Bringing Home the Word, St. Anthony Messenger Press)
