READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF March 11, 2018
4th Sunday of Lent
Why is the world the way it is? We all wonder that from time to time.
Each successive generation projects rose-hued longing on the past and casts
furtive glances at the impending future. We see forces beyond our control
in nature and in the newspaper. The world is changing and we're being
pulled out with the tide.
In the face of this confusion, today's Gospel features one of the most
oft-quoted Scripture verses of all time: "For God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life." But if Christ has come, why is the world so
challenging? Why is the world still -- to our eyes -- being carried off in a
proverbial hand basket? Jesus' response is a deeply personal one. "This is
the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness
to light." Patterns arise, habits are formed, and systems become engrained,
but each is the result of an interconnected web of human choices.
Where do we stand? Our answers, perhaps, vary from week to week,
hour to hour, missed traffic light to spilled coffee to teenage child's rebel-
lion. The world isn't perfect because we aren't perfect. Our parish is flawed
because we're flawed. Our families need work because every one of us
needs to be converted. Christianity is a process, not a destination!
This Sunday, Jesus invites us to consider our own lives. Where in our
own lives do we prefer darkness to light? What flaws are we trying to hide?
Humbly acknowledge those places today. Ask God for the grace to be
transformed. Share with your spouse or a friend where you'd like to im-
prove this week. "Whoever loves truth comes to the light, so that his works
may be clearly seen as done in God."
The Joint Pastoral Council will meet on
March 15th
at 6:30 P.M.
at Holy Trinity Parish Meeting room.
