Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area. - Jn 2:13b-15a

3rd Sunday of Lent "While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, many began to believe in his name when they saw the signs he was doing." How we would love to see those signs! How easy it would be for us to believe if we too could witness Jesus healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, calming the storm. It's tempt-ing to imagine that faith was a simple thing back in those days. We might be inclined to think that we don't have the same benefits as those first believers, and so faith is harder in our day and age. But is it, really? In truth, we have an advantage that none of those people had: two thousand years of Church history! Two millennia of faithful, prayerful Christians believing in Jesus and spreading the Gospel; the collective witness of the saints--many of whom have also worked "signs" in Jesus' name; the effects of the Church on culture and the world through its schools, its hospi-tals, its spiritual movements, and religious institutions; the unbroken line of apostolic succession that traces back to the time of Christ. Just the fact alone that the Church is still alive and well in spite of all of its sinful members ought to be miracle enough for us. But even with all of this testimony, it's important to remember that seeing signs and believing in Jesus are not the same thing. Even those who witnessed Jesus' miracles had to take the next step by choosing to accept him as their Lord. Ultimately, all of these convincing details are not the point. The point is to encounter Jesus on a personal level. The signs may open the door to bring us closer to him, but it's up to us to walk through that door. May we walk so as to come "to believe the Scripture."

In an effort to reach out to our brothers and sisters who speak Spanish and are not able to attend Sunday Mass at their parish due to illness, age, or other issues, the Archdiocese offers the transmission of the Sunday Mass in Spanish. This is an archdiocesan ministry offered in collaboration with the Office of Hispanic Ministry and the Office of Worship and Christian Initiation. The Spanish TV Mass airs every Sunday at 6:30 am on Channel 41.

The next stop for CRS Rice Bowl journey is the African nation, Niger, where we’re reminded that life’s joys and challenges are often seasonal. This week we pray for people who struggle to feed their families during the hungry season—when food is in short supply—and we commit to acting for the common good. La proxima parada en la jornada de CRS es en el pais africano, Niger, donde se nos recuerda que las alegrias y los desafios de la vida son a menudo estacionales. Esta semana oremos por las personas que luchan para alimentar a sus familias durante la tempo-rada de hambre—cuando la comida es escasa—y ahora comprome-temos a actuar por el bien comun.

“Lord, you are good and forgiving, Most merciful to all who call on you.

LORD, hear my prayer; Listen to my cry for help.

On the day of my distress I call to you, For you will answer me.” Psalm 86:5-7

Tu, Senor, eres bueno y clemente,

Rico en misericordia con los que te invocal.
