3rd Sunday Lent Year B 15 March 2009

Click here to download and listen to this homily (24 minutes) given by Fr Thomas Weise.  Looking at the Ten Commandments not as rules to ruin our fun, but as the rules of the game of life just as sports have rules to help the players play well together.  So when we fail to play by God's Commandments we are out of bounds or a penalty flag is thrown, sin and suffering are experienced not only by us but by our whole team, the human family. 

Homework: Grab a copy of any Catechism and read up on the Ten Commandments this Lent. Then prepare for the sacrament of reconciliation.  I know after my study I will be saying, "Forgive me Father for I have sin.  Numbers one through ten, in thought and/or in deed."

Readings: Exodus 20:1-17; Psalm 19; 1 Corinthians 1:22-25; John 2:13-25
