A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS
HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly
Fourth Sunday of Lent
March 6, 2016
Our walk with the Lord this Lent is the call given us to
make all things new. I need forgiveness, I have the
power to forgive others, I can have peace. With only a
few weeks left to celebrate the paschal mystery, may I
decide today, when I will seek the Lord’s gift of forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old
order has passed away, now all is new! All this has
been done by God who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of
reconciliation. I mean that God, in Christ, was reconciling the world to himself, not counting men’s
transgressions against them and has entrusted the
ministry of reconciliation to us. “
As we live this jubilee of mercy, Paul’s message provides a clear, understandable message concerning the
saving work of God. It is God who takes the initiative, I
am called to respond. It is He who offers me forgiveness, I need only ask. He sent Jesus precisely for
this purpose, to forgive, reconcile and offer us the gift of
joy and peace. How many, how few, accept this tremendous gift?
The parable of Luke introduces us to three persons, the
wayward son, the jealous brother and the waiting, forgiving father. There is some of each of us in all three.

Lent is also a penitential season. It is a
time to seek forgiveness, to look inward, and to admit our shortcomings
and failures. It is a time to regroup and
to prepare. How can you spend your
time during Lent?
* By “giving up” things you hunger after, such
as sweets or alcohol; or activities you desire,
such as vacations, concerts, or movies.
* By “doing” things to help others, such as offering an extra donation to the poor or helping those
in need by providing food or clothing.
* By “adding” to our normal routine, such as
going to daily Mass, praying the Stations of the
Cross or going to confessions.
