Third Sunday of Lent

March 14, 2004

But I need to realize that that time is right now! What if I delay? If I delay, even for a day, I may discover that that moment of grace has passed me by. As these days of Lent continue I have the opportunity as well as the time to tend "my fig tree" so it will be reborn in the spring.

Lord increase my yearning for your righteousness and holiness. I ask that I not squander the grace of the present moment to say "yes" to you, to your will, and to your way of holiness.
