Lent 4 Sunday C- Homilies and Stories
Abraham Lincoln, William Barclay tells us, was asked by a journalist how he would react to the rebels after hostilities ceased. Immediately the President answered, "I will treat them as though they had never been away." President Lincoln must have reflected on this parable often.

Introduction to today’s Celebration
Today we reflect on our belief that Jesus is the chosen one
of God, he is the anointed one, he is the Christ. He is the one who gives sight
to our blindness, the one who restores our health, the one who reconciles us to
the Father. Today, because it is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, is also Mothers’
Day when we give thanks to God for our mothers, we make a special fuss of
them,and think of how much we owe to them for their care and love. So let us
begin by thinking of all of God’s blessings to us: for giving us loving
mothers, for giving us his love and forgiveness, and for sending us Jesus the
Christ.

My Trouble Tree - Story
ONE NEEDS MUCH MORE ( MEDITATION, SILENCE ETC
)THAN THIS BUT A GOOD PLACE TO START FOR NON MEDITATORS
I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job, a flat tyre made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one-ton truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

Lent 3 Sunday C
Introduction to the Celebration
In today’s gospel we will hear again the urgent call of the Christ to change our way of life, to repent, to begin a new relationship with God our Father. This repentance is part of his Good News as it begins the process of being his ministers building the New Creation. As we begin our Eucharist, let us recall our need to renew our lives and ask that this Eucharist will strengthen our resolve to lead renewed lives.
Fr. John Powell and Tommy
Fr. John Powell, a
professor at Loyola University in Chicago, writes about a student in his
Theology of Faith class named Tommy:
Some twelve years
ago, I stood watching my university students file into the classroom for our
first session in the Theology of Faith. That was the day I first saw Tommy. He
was combing his long flaxen hair, which hung six inches below his
shoulders.
