The Prodigal Son CATHOLIC WORKING MOM - March 10, 2013 Reflection on today's gospel, Sunday, March 10, 2013 Today's gospel story is so beautiful and tells of God's great mercy. I would like to address the feelings of the "good son." Many people read this gospel story and immediately empathize with the son who remained faithful all along, and was outraged that the dad threw a party and rolled out the red carpet for the one who has long been unfaithful – ...http://danardoyle.wordpress.com/2013/03/10/the-prodigal-son/

They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees. Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath. So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see." So some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath."

Loving God With All One's Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength REFLECTIONS AND RUMINATIONS - March 10, 2013 ... first of all the commandments, which is to love God with all our heart, our soul, mind and strength. Mark's gospel differs slightly from Matthew's in this. But this has not changed, and will not change as a primary commandment for all of us. Everything else flows from this, and it is when we get this right, that we will see life in a very different light than how a purely secular eye sees life. The problem with our eyes, I believe, is that we have been influenced very much ...http://frlukefong.blogspot.com/2013/03/loving-god-with-all-ones-heart-mind.html

As reckless as the younger son is by leaving the security of his home and family, he still remembers the love of his father. In getting ready to return he makes an examination of conscience which is born, not from a feeling of guilt, but by "coming to his senses". Finally he can see his life and his relationships as they truly are. In this light he truly knows what he is lacking and in his moment ...http://printedaspreached.blogspot.com/2013/03/forth-sunday-of-lent.html

The Bishop With the Candlesticks GOD IN ALL THINGS - March 4, 2013 Reading: 2 Cor 5:17-21; Luke 15:1ff Lent offers us a unique gift to view the Christian story in its deepest sense. For this year's Fourth Sunday of Lent the lectionary presents readings that couldn't be more Christian. In the Gospel reading from Luke 15 we witness a scene with Jesus where the Pharisees complain out loud to one another, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." (Luke 15:2) This rings true. Jesus spent time with the outcast, the ...http://godinallthings.com/2013/03/04/the-bishop-with-the-candlesticks/

All can make the Sign of the Cross, respond amen, become baptized, enter the Church, erect temples. But the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil by charity (love).

God's Word for the Third Sunday in Lent in the Year of Faith FROM THE PULPIT OF MY LIFE - March 3, 2013 Introduction The gardener offers to cultivate and fertilize the fig tree. In his commentary on the Sunday readings, Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle chooses for his theme, faith and conversion. The Gospel about the barren fig tree tells us something about God's patience with us and his call to us to repent. In God's mercy toward us he cultivates us like a gardener so we may bear fruit.
