Notes from Fr. Joe - 03/26/2017

Well, we have actually entered the season of Spring. It is a season of new life and hopefully we are seeing signs of renewed life, or new life in our relationship with the Lord from this Lenten Journey.  How are things going for your Lenten Season? Did you choose to do the best activity for yourself, or did you miss the mark?  Well, today is the half-way point of the Lenten Season. There is time to improve or to tweak your commitment.

Today’s special work in the Gospel is the gift of SIGHT. It is such a beautiful gift. We can certainly take it for granted in our lives. One of the common temptations that we can experience comes from how we see things and how we can judge others. Many times, things appears to be a certain way, but after further investigation it was not what it seemed to be at all. If this is a tendency you experience in your life, then this week we may want to try to focus on refraining from passing false judgment on others. We must remember God is the only judge, because He sees and knows all things.
