Third Sunday of Lent TODAY S READINGS First Reading The LORD God appears to Moses and directs him to go and deliver the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15) or Exodus 17:3-7. Psalm The Lord is kind and merciful (Psalm 103) or Psalm 95. Second Reading We are not to grumble like the people with Moses in the desert (1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12) or Romans 5:1-2, 5-8. Gospel If you do not repent, you will all perish (Luke 13:1-9) or John 4:5-42 [5-15, 19b-26, 39a, 40-42]. The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. I AM Kindness and mercy are what the enslaved people of Israel needed, and they came in the form of deliverance. They came through a leader, Moses, who was once plucked from the Nile River and was now herding his father-inlaw s sheep in the land of Goshen. The bush that burned but was not consumed shows us that God is inexhaustible mystery. Moses awe and deference are mixed with a touching conversational tone as he seeks to learn God s name. And God sweetly responds. The somewhat abstract I AM distinguishes the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob from the minor gods in the territory who are not. They are helpless, powerless, and useless. Moses is to step out into an amazing future, and God will be there with outstretched arm. Just go and see, God seems to say. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura El Señor se aparece a Moisés y le indica que vaya y libere a los israelitas de su opresión en Egipto (Éxodo 3:1-8a, 13-15) o Exodo 17:3-7. Salmo El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso (Salmo 103 [102]) o Salmo 95 (94). Segunda lectura No nos quejemos. El que se sienta seguro deberá cuidarse para no caer (1 Corintios 10:1-6, 10-12) o Romanos 5:1-2, 5-8. Evangelio Si no se arrepienten, todos perecerán (Lucas 13:1-9) o Juan 4:5-42 [5-15, 19b-26, 39a, 40-42]. Salmo responsorial: Leccionario I 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados. YO SOY Lo que el pueblo esclavizado de Israel necesitaba era la bondad y misericordia de Dios, y esas dos cosas llegaron bajo la forma de una liberación. Llegaron por medio de un caudillo, Moisés, que cuando niño fue salvado de las aguas del Nilo, y ahora estaba pastoreando las ovejas de su suegro en el desierto. La zarza que ardía sin consumirse nos muestra que Dios es un misterio inagotable. El temor y respeto de Moisés están mezclados con una confianza conmovedora, cuando trata de averiguar el Nombre del Señor. Y Dios le responde dulcemente con un Nombre YO SOY que distingue al Dios de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob de los diosecitos de las naciones, que no-son. Esos diosecitos de nada son impotentes e inútiles. Moisés tiene que avanzar hacia un futuro increíble, y Dios lo espera allí con mano poderosa y brazo extendido. Es como si el Señor le dijera, Ve, y verás. Copyright J. S.

Praying Hands: How can you be a Minister to the Sick without ever leaving your own home? It s easy! Every week our bulletin has a list of people who have requested our prayers for healing, for hope, for courage and for strength. They need our prayers and they believe that our prayers are powerful. So, may I suggest that every day we pray for one person from that list. We can name that person as we bring our prayers to the heart of God and ask our loving God to lay His healing hands on them. In that way, these people will no longer be names on a list, they will be people who are special to us and we can be prayer warriors in our own homes. Try it! Sr. Sheila Prayer Requests...
