3rd
SUNDAY OF LENT
Your word is a lamp
to my feet; a light on my path.
(Ps.119, 105)
The
justice of God is manifested by our faith in Christ
(Papal
Message)
With
these words, the Holy Father invites us to a sincere
re-vision
of our life in the light of the Gospel.
Injustice, the fruit of evil has no exterior root;
it
originates IN THE HUMAN HEART
where it germinates
in our
mysterious connivance with evil.
As the
Psalmist says: For indeed, I was born in sin;
guilt was with me already when my mother conceived me.
(Ps. 51, 7)
