Fourth
Sunday in Lent
“This
man”, they said, “welcomes
sinners and eats with them.”
One of the dangers with religion is
that it can be thought of as for good,
holy people. And one of the lovely
aspects of Christianity, especially
as experienced within our Catholic
tradition, is that it is for sinners.
Holiness is our call, sinner is our
condition, and there is no need to
worry or be fearful. It can be difficult
for us to accept this for ourselves
and also for other people around us
and so we find ourselves standing
in judgement on one another and at
times condemning one another. If we
want to find Christ, though, we have
to learn to reverence the poor, the
weak, the sinful, and the faults and
failings of others and ourselves.
This is why criticism of one another
has no part in our following of Christ,
whether in our homes, in our close
relationships or in our faith community.

Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Fourth Sunday
of Lent
First Reading
: Joshua 5: 9-12
The People of God keep the Passover
on their entry into the promised land.
Second Reading:
Corinthians 5: 17-21
God reconciled us to himself through
Christ.
Gospel: Luke
15: 1-3.11-32
The father said, “My son, you
are with me always and all I have
is yours. But it is only right we
should celebrate and rejoice, because
your brother here was dead and has
come to life; he was lost and is found”.
Mothering Sunday
Dear Lord, it's
such a hectic day
With little time to stop and pray
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called on me to be a mom
Running errands, matching socks
Building dreams with building blocks
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose
Fitting lids on bottled bugs
Wiping tears and giving hugs
A stack of last weeks mail to read
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute, Lord
Just at the sink or ironing board
To ask the blessings of Your grace
I see then, in my small one's face
That you have blessed me
All the while
And I stop to kiss
That precious smile
