Fourth Sunday of Lent

March 21, 2004

Do I identify with the older brother? I think of myself as one who does good and avoids evil. This is not enough. I must surrender to the limitless love and forgiveness of a loving Father. I must rise above the petty comparisons that life present to us. I must follow the path god has set for me. That is where I will find the grace to pray, to accept others, to truly seek God in my life.

At Christmas, the Letter of John revealed to us that "God is Love". During the days of Lent I must live out the same mystery of the Incarnation. God is with us.
