Third Sunday of Lent

Third Sunday of Lent
March 4th, 2007

St. Xavier Parish Home Page

    Brothers and Sisters, today the Church throughout the world celebrates the first scrutiny with those who are preparing for baptism at Easter. A scrutiny is meant to uncover and heal all that is sinful in their hearts, and to bring out and strengthen all that is strong and good. God's word uncovers our sinfulness and strengths our goodness. We humbly welcome the presence of God, who sees deeply the desires of every human heart.
