Third Sunday in Lent
St. Paul, in his First Letter to the Corinthians, calls people to remember the heart of faith: "proclaiming Christ crucified.” Though we may focus on Jesus' teaching or his miracles, the core of our faith is rooted in this reality.
From the cross Jesus reveals God’s love to all people no matter who they are. Jesus proclaims God’s forgiveness to all. Therefore, our lives are intended to model service and sacrifice. Putting now this belief into practice beckons a call to action as individuals and as a community. Proclaiming Christ Crucified eliminates divisions that may develop within local communities, the Church, and society at large.
