"Our task is not to be a barrier but to join Him in
reconciling the world"
​
Fr Anthony
"We are ambassadors for Christ; God is making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God. For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God"

FOURTH SUNDAY IN Lent, Year C
​
Theme: Our Lenten Journey of Mercy-Asking, Self-Renewal, Returning and Welcoming
Our Lord Jesus warned us on the first Sunday of Lent that the Enemy would always hinder our efforts to return to the sheepfold, but we were assured of victory. On the second Sunday, we were reminded that although those temptations may weaken us, a transfiguring victory would be granted to those who work with the Lord. Thus, on the third Sunday, we were asked to review our Lenten observances to intensify our faith and secure that victory.
