CHRISTIAN FAITH FORMATION

Everyday Stewardship

Perhaps this Lent you are working hard to stick with your devotions, avoid hamburgers on Fridays, and fight your

temptations for soda since you gave it up for Jesus. You are planting seeds in your spiritual life in hopes of growing

them into something beautiful and meaningful. However, you have been trying this approach now for many years,

and it is hard to say that much has grown during all that time. You could deduce that what you are doing is not as

worthwhile as you once believed. There is no fruit because these things don't matter. Or you could take a real hard

look at your life, see where you are planting those seeds, and finally notice what the problem has been all along.

WEEDS!

Too often, we plant seeds over and over again in soil that is not rich in nutrients and is filled with weeds. The weeds

choke the life out of any growth that comes to the seeds planted. We think that adding good things to our life will

change it, and removal of sin will not be necessary. It is like eating two large hamburgers and a large fries and believ-

ing you won't gain weight because you drank a Diet Coke.

As good stewards who are called to discern how we respond to the call of Jesus Christ, we must be about ripping those

weeds out of our lives so the good seeds we plant can grow. For each of us, the weeds are different: money, ego, sex,

greed, etc. If we don't take a good honest look at our lives and make some tough choices, no amount of devotion or

good works will make us better disciples. We will simply wait for the next Lent to do the same things all over again.

Rediscover Jesus by Matthew Kelly

POINT TO PONDER: Jesus wants to teach you how to live an incredible life.

VERSE TO LIVE: "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house upon rock.” Matthew 7:24

QUESTION TO CONSIDER: Have you ever really considered Jesus to be your teacher?

PRAYER: Jesus, teach me how to be a great student.

Next week: Fourth Sunday of Lent

About the Gospel:

Next Sunday is sometimes called “Joy

Sunday.” It is a time to remember the joy

that Easter brings after the time of repentance of Lent. The

prodigal son is a reminder that we also stray from our Fa-

ther through our sins and can return to the joy of His for-

giveness.

Visit www.usccb.org/bible/readings to read next Sunday’s

Scripture.

In Church:

Notice that the priest may be wearing rose-colored vest-

ments this Sunday as a sign that we are getting closer to

the joyful celebration of Easter.

Question of the Week:

How can you find joy even when you are struggling or

suffering?

Family Prayer:

Lord, open our hearts to ask for forgiveness and to forgive

others. Show us your mercy and help us to be merciful to

others.

Corner

First Scrutiny

Why do we continue to climb that hill day after day for

water, when we have been given everlasting water by the

One who came to reconcile us to the Father? Those seek-

ing to be cleansed in baptismal waters at Easter go

through Scrutinies "to uncover, then heal all that is weak,

defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out,

then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and

good" (RCIA 141). The story of the woman at the well

speaks to all of us of everlasting water that heals us and

gives us strength for the journey. There are those among

us who long for this, but we who have been marked for

Christ a long time ago already possess it. But too often we

continue to climb high hills looking for something else to

satisfy us. The Samaritan woman leaves behind her con-

tainer at the well when she leaves, for there is no reason

for her ever to return. You and I have left our vessels at

the well also. Stop climbing that hill. Today, as you listen

to the words of the Scrutiny prayers and ritual, let us be

resolved to drink again from that everlasting water God

has given to us.

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who fled to your

protection,

implored your help, or sought your intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence,

I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sor-

rowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in your mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.

Liturgical Schedule For March 30th & 31st

Overconfidence is bad for our spiritual life

Sometimes, it is hard to envision why people fail in their spiritual life. At times we are surprised by a person whose life is strongly attached to the Church, serves in different ministries, and then we hear that this person drops out of the Church. Why does this happen? What can we do to help?

This week, one of the approaches that we can consider from the liturgy gives us a bit of light on this issue. This hap-pens to people when they are “overconfident.” As St. Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians, the Hebrew people on their journey in the desert were witnesses to all kinds of miracles: water from the rock, mana from heaven, you name it. God Himself, took care of them and protected them. But, they made the Gold Bull Statue to worship anyway. So… where is the problem?

The problem is when we look in another direction. If we are in with the Lord, sometimes we take a short “license” by being not “too Christian,” then we are leaving open the window or the door for all kind of plagues to enter in our spir-itual house. This happens when we believe that we are wise enough, or strong enough to reject the enemy. This false perception is nothing more than being proud and overconfident. Even Jesus spent 40 days in the desert and was tempted by the devil. Remember, we are Temples of the Holy Spirit. We must keep our eyes on Jesus. God gives us the gift of freedom to do whatever we want, but sent us His Holy Spirit to guide us to the truth. Sometimes, like Peter, we walk on water, and if we look in another direction rather than Jesus, we can lose the way and sink.
