    MASS SCHEDULE

    Now into the third week of the Season of Lent, our Sunday Gospel prepares us to hear Lent's call to conversionnd repentance. Today's reading is found in the chapters of Luke's Gospel that describe Jesus' journey to Jerusalem.uring this journey, Jesus teaches and heals. He must also respond to those who question and challenge his author-y and actions. There is no parallel in Mark's or Matthew's Gospels for today's reading from Luke. While Mark and

    Matthew describe an incident in which Jesus curses the fig tree, today's reading makes the barren fig tree the sub-ct of a parable.

    Luke tells us that some among the crowds report to Jesus a massacre of Galileans by Pilate. The intention of therowd seems to be to ask Jesus to explain why these people suffered. It was commonplace to render people's suffer-g as evidence of their sinfulness. Jesus challenges this interpretation. Those who were massacred were no more orss sinful than the ones who report the situation to Jesus. Jesus replies that even a fatal accident, a natural disaster,ught not to be interpreted as punishment for sin.

    Jesus' words at first appear to have a fire-and-brimstone quality. Jesus says in essence, Repent or perish ashese people did; all are sinful before God and deserving of God's punishment. The tone changes, however, in thearable that follows. The parable of the barren fig tree contrasts the patience and hopefulness of the gardener withe practicality of the property owner. When told to cut down the fig tree because it is not producing fruit, the gar-

    ener counsels patience. If properly tended, the barren fig tree may yet bear fruit.Throughout his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus has been teaching about the Kingdom of God. In this parable, we

    nd an image of God's patience and hopefulness as he prepares his Kingdom. God calls us to repent, and it isithin his power to punish us for our failure to turn from our sinfulness. And yet God is merciful. He delays pun-hment and tends to us so that we may yet bear the fruit he desires from us.

    This, then, is our reason for hope: Not only does God refuse to abandon us, he chooses to attend to us evenhen we show no evidence of his efforts. Next week's Gospel will give an even clearer picture of the kind of mercyat God shows to us.etrieved from http://www.loyola.com/sundayconnection.

    Dark Skies

    By John MulderingCatholic News Service

    NEW YORK (CNS) -- The restrained, butoverly original, thriller "Dark Skies"(Dimenscomes backed by the producers behind "Paranormal Activity" franchise. And, both

    better and worse, it shows.Thus, writer-director Scott Stewart, like

    "Paranormal" counterparts, presents viewith comparatively little violence; only passing scene relies, for its effect, on the sigblood. But some of the proceedings -- likeinexplicable rearranging of various kitchen i-- feel too familiar, by now, to be scary.

    As for the found footage device, Steholds off on introducing it, seemingly as lonhe dares. But even so, its eventual, seemiinevitable, appearance is likely to inspiweary sigh.

    The film's premise also feels well-worn:dinary suburban couple Lacy (Keri Russell)

    Daniel (Josh Hamilton) Barrett and their soteen Jessie (Dakota Goyo) and 6-year-old (Kadan Rockett) -- are beset by a series ofturbing events.

    Baffled and frightened, the parents eventuturn to reclusive conspiracy theorist Edwin lard (J.K. Simmons). His explanation indicthat the Barretts have unwittingly drawnattention of some highly unusual, and potentdangerous, visitors.

    Stewart works into his script the pro-fanotion that clan discord -- under economic psure, Lacy and Daniel have been quarrelinassists dark forces. But, with Jessie gthrough a rebellious phase, Stewart also shus some adolescent experimentation with drpornography and other forms of sexuality make his eerie offering unsuitable for kids.

    The film contains fleeting gore, brief sc

    of sensuality, some involving teens, non-gra

    marital lovemaking, a couple of uses of pro

    ity and a smattering of crude and crass langu
