The Third Sunday of Lent

What of the Fig Tree?

In our Gospel today, Jesus is concerned - not about a fig tree - but people. He wants us to bear fruit!

It might be helpful for us today to reflect on the ways in which we fulfill His desire for our lives:

How do I bear witness to my belief and full trust in Jesus Christ?

What is my prayer?

What are my good works?

do I participate in a soup kitchen?

food and clothing drives?

visiting the sick?

giving good counsel?

comforting the grieving?

supporting the work of evengelization?

Do I sacrifice for others?

Do I live: courage? justice? mercy? (at home and at work?)

Jesus the Gardner knows that what you and I pay attention to - grows.
