3rd Sunday of Lent
We have lost our axis to the world of “anything goes”
and no longer see the Ten Commandments as practical
and wise guideposts to effective living. We live on
“relativism island” where only a possible suggestion to
“love and do not harm” may be the only standard able to
be preached. While Jesus most certainly emphasized
love above anything else, it was never about warm fuzzy
feelings or halfhearted humanitarian efforts. The love of
which Jesus spoke establishes an intimate connection
with God, neighbor, self, and creation. Because this love,
who is God Himself, is at the foundational core of our
lives, it demands actions and attitudes that serve to build
up, increase, and free up those relationships. Love
requires proper conduct. Preserving and enhancing these
love centered relationships is at the heart of the Ten
Commandments (and the Beatitudes) and the reason for
Jesus’ display of anger in the temple. The Ten
Commandments can save the world from turmoil and
conflict by instilling basic moral and relational principles
within us. They also hold a healthy sense of sin in
balance and always remind us of our relationship with
God and the freedom God offers. Our faith preserves
these jewels of truth that we often look beyond, dismiss
altogether, or seek to remove from public view. Human
beings can be so arrogant at times. Our Lenten journey,
especially when embarked upon with sincerity and
resolve, can restore all of our essential relationships.
When we get absorbed in life’s preoccupations and
demands, things can quickly get distorted and we can
find ourselves way off track. In short, we find ourselves
in sin. Humanity is losing a sense of both grace and sin.
We need both to understand what is real and true. Until
we do, the oppressive systems and ideologies that hurt so
many will never change. We will never change. We are
grateful for those courageous souls who willingly
embrace the conversion and hard work Lent demands
and stand against antiquated systems and ideologies.
They give us hope that all is not lost. ©LPi

BULLETIN If you can’t make it to church to grab a bulletin or just forgot to pick one up you can find it online at
www.immaculateconceptionbrownville.org.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Our Lenten fasting makes sense only when we keep in mind its purpose of uniting us more fully with Christ and our sisters and brothers. Consider fasting this week from some time spent on computer, TV, phone, etc. to feasting on the presence of God found in His creation. Whether observing from your window or from being outdoors, take time each day to notice the beauties of the ice crystals, your "winter neighbors" of fur and feather, the trees when they seem to say nothing, etc. "To see as God’s sees" invites us to inhabit God’s world, to notice it, to cherish it. Enjoy the feasting with all your senses and give praise to the Creator.
DYNAMIC CATHOLIC BEST LENT EVER: Sign up for the daily reflections, videos and inspiring stories. The theme this year is "It's Who You Become". There will be a Lenten journal available at the entrance to the Church. Please take one home and journal along with the daily reflections. To sign up for the daily reflections go to Dynamiccatholic.com/bestlentever. May your journey this lent bring you closer to God and give you deep faith in our Catholic religion.
