Daily Mass: The command, example and freedom of forgiveness. Catholic Inspiration
Mass Readings – Tuesday of the 3rd Week of Lent
We forgive:
- Because the Lord commands us
- To imitate the Lord’s example
- To be freed from the bondage of sin
And so…to whom do we have to say “I’m sorry” or “I forgive you” today?

Daily Mass: Two sons, two sides of mercy. Catholic Inspiration
Mass Readings – Saturday of the 2nd Week of Lent
The parable of the Prodigal Son is well known and it speaks to some deep forces in our hearts. Like the two sons, we have the chance each day to “come to our senses” to receive mercy and “celebrate and rejoice” when we can share that mercy with one another.

Daily Mass: Facing rejection with the gift of faith. Catholic Inspiration
Mass Readings – Friday of the 2nd Week of Lent
Both the 1st Reading and the Gospel detail stories of rejection: Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers for 20 pieces of silver and Jesus explains how the tenants kill the vineyard owner’s son. Yet in both cases the reality of rejection is transformed and redeemed by God’s grace. May we face our moments of rejection with the power of our faith in Christ, that God will work in our lives to bring about good.

Daily Mass: Trust in the Lord! Catholic Inspiration
Mass Readings – Thursday of the 2nd Week of Lent
Jesus speaks the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to the pharisees, commenting on issues of Heaven/Hell, life after death, and the fact that we have all the information we need to live our faith. The point: we trust the Lord in this life to be ready to meet Him in the next.

One way we can measure our success as disciples: how we help one another. Whether it is the justice described by Isaiah or the example of Jesus in the Gospel, the Lord accepts our service toward one another as if it were done to Him.
