Tuesday of the Third Week of Lent
Reading and Reflection
Over the next few weeks most of us will prepare
and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. To prepare we
need an examination of conscience. AND we need to forgive
those who have sinned against us. We pray that God will
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed
against us. Certainly we must take steps today to show
forgiveness to those who have hurt us. Believe in them and
see them through God's eyes. This doesn't mean to forget
what they have done or put ourselves in harm's way. But the
anger and hurt we carry can destroy us and others. Perhaps
the other person lives far away, won't talk to us, or has died.
We can still work on forgiveness within our own soul and it will change
us. Ask God to help.
Reminder: Rice Bowls are in the Narthex with great
suggestions for Lenten sacrifices.
