Join Fr. Brendan as he explores the Gospel of John and the human experience of doubt during Lent. He reminds us that even in our uncertainties, God sends us signs and messengers of hope through the people in our lives.
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.
The prophet Isaiah assures us that the fast that is acceptable to God is " to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free." Let us make sure that this is part of our Lenten committment.
Jesus admonished his followers that they had to pick up their cross daily and follow him. We all have good days and bad days, days when we are excited to be followers of Christ and days when we simply can't stand to pick up the cross of helping others in our seemingly hopelessly broken world. Fortunately, we can do this together, as a community.
Despite seeing Jesus multiplying the loaves and the fishes, the disciples worry that they have brought enough bread for the journey. Jesus wonders aloud if they understand at all who he is. We need to trust that God provides enough.
