READINGS FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2025
FIRST READING — EX 3:1-8A, 13-15 God reveals to Moses that He has heard the cry of His people, and He is coming to rescue them from slavery in Egypt. What prayer do you need to be answered by God?
SECOND READING — 1 COR 10:1-6, 10-12 Paul believed the mistakes of the Israelites in the desert serve as an example and a warning of what to avoid in our journey with God. How might you show gratitude to God this upcoming week of Lent?
GOSPEL— LK 13:1-9 Jesus taught one to repent to bear good fruit. Can you think of some good fruit you have borne from repenting? Mistakes of the Israelites in the desert serve as an example and a warning of what to avoid in our journey with God. How might you show gratitude to God this upcoming week of Lent?
