A Message from the Padre
“Stop Making My Fathers’ House a Marketplace”
Lent is a time for repentance and renewal in our journey with Christ. Our readings this Sunday provide
us with a message on how we can examine our conscience and transform ourselves as we prepare for the
passion and glorious resurrection of Christ.
I
n our Gospel this weekend, we have a dramatic scene were Jesus is seen angry, overturning tables and shouting out “Stop
making my Father’s house a marketplace.” To discover a Jesus angry and one who knocks down the tables is something we seldom see. He is always loving and compassionate and preaches the virtue of patience and forgiveness. But “Why?” … Why did
Jesus lose his temper and act in a rage and what is there in us that Jesus wants to overturn and change? The answer to this question
is simple. Jesus was angry because the people had dishonored the temple of God which is considered a sacred and a holy place.
Just like our own body, we should treat it as Sacred and Holy as it is considered a Temple of God.
M
y dear brothers and sisters, indeed our body is a Temple of God. Let us not forget that God the Father created our bodies, God the Son redeemed them, and God the Holy Spirit indwells in them. And as St. Paul said to the Corinthians “Your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God. Therefore honor God with your body.”
S
o, as we continue our journey during these forty days of Lent, let us clean the temple of our hearts from all jealousy,
apathy, hatred, despair and whatever makes us angry and takes us away from our relationship with God. Let us make a firm commitment to honor God’s temple as our body by renewing our lives in holiness, repentance and forgiveness.

Third Sunday of Lent
Third Sunday of Lent
John 2: 13-25
The readings on this midpoint Sunday of
Lent are indeed challenging. We have the Ten
Commandments given to Moses and the Israelites, and we have Jesus confronting the status
quo in the temple. Perhaps Saint Paul can give
us the perspective we need: the Ten Commandments are
the bedrock on which we stand, but we proclaim Christ
crucified. As we hear these readings today, let us ponder
what it means to proclaim Christ crucified in our own
lives.

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your concern and outpouring
of love that I received while I was in the hospital. Your

I was so overwhelmed with joy by the gifts and homemade cards from our CCD students. Children, thank you
so much for praying and thinking of me.
May God bless you all,

by witnessing to something greater and more perfect: a
gospel of life, hope and mercy.”
