USCSI REFLECTIONS

Third Sunday of Lent – 

What is it about our lifestyle that violates this temple that violates the commandments which were designed to keep this temple holy? What kinds of faults have we learned to tolerate and allowed to become part of our life?  Lent is not about enduring some miserable discipline that we quickly forget after Easter Sunday and then go on with our lives as before. Lent is about “springtime” within us, a new birth in Jesus a thorough cleansing and renewal.
