Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15

My Beloved, You hear every cry, every sigh reaches Your ear. Your eye is constantly on those whom Your Blood has saved. We are Your people the sheep of Your flock and You are our God and our Lord. You are Jesus Christ, the Son of the Liging God, eternally begotten of the Father who first revealed Himself as "I AM." And whom You revealed to us as Love, as Father.  Thank You my Beloved!

1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12

Everything that the Israelites went through in the wilderness is t type of sacrament that we are privileged to enjoy in reality today.  They walked through the waters of the Red Sea, we have the waters of baptism, they fed on manna we have the Holy Eucharist the Body of Christ, the true food that gives strength to our soul for the journey to heaven and we drink from the streams of living water that flow from the side of Christ.  He feed us and quenches our thirst and each day with His help we make progress towards our eternal home.

Psalm 103 1-4, 6-8, 11

My Lord, I thank the Church for giving us this wonderful season of Lent where we can reflect with grateful hearts all that You have done for us and we can offer You praise, worship and thanksgiving for saving us.

Verse 8 Thank You Beloved for the re-assurance of Your love for us.  May we never be presumptuous or take Your love for granted but in humility and loving obedience do all You ask of us so that someday we will be united with You in heaven for all eternity.

Luke 13:1-9

Here is a clear warning if we refuse to change from old sinful ways and insist on remaining in sin - we will perish.

My Beloved, You give us every opportunity to be saved. You plead with Your Father on our behalf. You give us the Sacraments which will help us to begin over again with a clean slate and You send Your Holy Spirit to abide in us so we have a Teacher and Guide living within us and if all that was not enough You give us Yourself as food and drink so we can be strong and slowly but surely become like You and thus pleasing to the Father.  If despite all this we remain indifferent then God will have no choice but to throw us into the flames that never go out.
