THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT |
From the burning bush Moses is called by God to lead his people out of slavery into freedom. The parable of the fig tree speaks on one had of God's patience, but on the other of the urgency of the call to conversion. Like the Hebrews of old, we too have failed to heed God's call, thinking ourselves to be self-righteous.
