3rd Sunday of Lent
Exodus 3:1-8,13-15 God speaks to Moses from the burning bush and reveals His identity. He has heard his people's cry and has come to their aid. Reverence in the presense of God is called for.
Psalm 103 reminds us "The Lord is kind and merciful" This is a Thanksgiving psalm.
1 Cor 10:1-6,10-12 Paul reminds us of the Exodus, especially the time in the desert. God chastizes his people for their sins that they may turn to him and be saved. They have become over confident because of their Baptism. Part of the problem with the protestant "once saved, always saved" philosophy.
Luke 13:1-9 Parable of the fig tree. If we do not bear good fruit, we will be cut down. But note that God is patient. Luke addresses a common problem among Christians, complacency.
