The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

Wisdom From Our Pastor As we continue our journey this season, on this third Sunday of Lent, we celebrate Christ the fullness of the Law and the wisdom of God. Today, the church calls us to re-dedicate ourselves to Christ. This is because He is the fulfillment of God’s commandment. In today’s gospel, John narrates Jesus’ encounter with those profaning God’s Sanctuary. His action simply demonstrates that He is actually God’s wisdom and the fullness of the Law. His zeal distinguished Him, from the authorities. Instead of representing God’s interest, they represented their selfish economic and social interests. It also, distinguishes Him from temple pilgrims who simply visited the temple without real devotion to God. What do we learn from today’s gospel? First, we are not supposed keep quite or remain indifferent while things go wrong. This is especially in the house of God, our homes, offices or any place at all. Also, we must not allow our personal destroy the sanity of our church, family, state, or country. The Church is the house of God and a place of worship. We must keep it holy and respect it. Also, it reminds us that our body, and the body of Christ is the Temple of God. So, we must not defile it. Finally, today Christ prophesied about his own death and resurrection: “Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days.” This prophecy will be fulfilled during the paschal mystery. Therefore, today’s gospel keeps the events of this season in perspective. It reminds us of where we are heading to this season, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, as we march forward this season, let us continue to abide by the commandments of God fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the perfect wisdom. Let us acclaim Christ: “You, Lord, have the message of eternal life!” Happy 3rd Sunday in Lent. Father Victor Ray
