FRUITFULNESS IN GOD'S MERCY
As we enter the Third Sunday of Lent, the Church invites us to reflect deeply on God’s call to repentance and the fruitfulness He desires in our lives. Today’s readings reveal a God who is deeply involved in the story of His people—a God who sees, hears, and acts. In the first reading, Moses encounters the Lord in the burning bush and is entrusted with a mission to liberate the oppressed. This encounter reminds us that every genuine experience of God leads to a transformation and a call to serve.
In the Gospel, Jesus shares the parable of the barren fig tree—a powerful reminder that while God is patient and merciful, He also expects a response from us. The season of Lent is a grace-filled time to examine our hearts, turn away from sin, and grow in holiness. It is not enough to merely exist; we are called to bear fruit—fruit that will last. As we participate in this Eucharist, let us ask for the grace to listen to God’s voice, embrace conversion, and walk forward with renewed purpose.
🙏 May this Sunday lead us to a deeper awareness of God's mercy and a more generous response to His call.
