Fourth Sunday of Lent
Fourth Sunday of Lent
March 11th, 2007
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Brothers and sisters, God gathers us together on this sacred day to taste and see the Lord's goodness as revealed in word and sacrament. Too often we become lost in the world of sin, but God always calls us back in to a life of fidelity. During this holy season of Lent we marvel at the generosity of our God. We begin this Mass conscious of God's mercy and compassion.
As we listen to the word of God today, let us be open to the power of the Holy Spirit. We often become lost in sin, hoping for a way out. Today's Gospel serves as an everlasting reminder that God is always there when we admit our sinfulness and come home to God's loving embrace. Let us truly taste and see the goodness of the Lord as that goodness is made present in the proclamation of the word.
