Third Sunday of Lent, Cycle C

Jesus preaches a lesson on repentance.

Luke 13:1-9

Now into the third week of the Season of Lent, our Sunday Gospel prepares us to hear Lent's call to conversion and repentance. The reading is found in the chapters of Luke's Gospel that describe Jesus' journey to Jerusalem. During this journey, Jesus teaches and heals. He must also respond to those who question and challenge his authority and actions. The reading makes the barren fig tree the subject of a parable. We hear about God’s love and patience. God never gives up on us. In the same way, as the gardener cared about the tree and was happy to wait patiently, God cares about us and waits patiently for us, even when we make poor choices. God is always hopeful that we will ask for his forgiveness. He never stops loving us.

Lenten Season – Stations of the Cross Lenten Liturgy will be held on Thursday 3rd April 2025, 2.00pm in Allen Hall. Families and friends are welcome. More details next week.
