The Third Sunday of Lent: Holy Ground, Trust, & Bearing Fruit

Remote video URL

Join Fr. Brendan Curran, OP, as he unpacks the powerful readings for the Third Sunday of Lent, offering insights into Exodus, 1 Corinthians, and Luke's Gospel.

In the First Reading (Exodus 3:1-8, 13-15), we encounter Moses and the Burning Bush, revealing how God prepares 'Holy Ground' for each of us and remains actively present in our lives. Fr. Brendan explores how we can recognize and walk on this Holy Ground in our daily experiences.

The Second Reading (1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12) features St. Paul's reminder of God's past faithfulness. Fr. Brendan encourages us to remember God's deliverance and trust in His provision, urging us to avoid grumbling and straying from our faith.

Finally, in the Gospel Reading (Luke 13:1-9), the Parable of the Fig Tree illustrates God's abundant grace and nurturing care. Fr. Brendan emphasizes that God expects us to eventually produce spiritual fruits from this grace, while cautioning against judging others who may be on a different spiritual timeline.
