Pathways of Hope: "Our Need for Repentance"

SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2025Third Sunday of Lent Memorial of Saint Domitius and companions, martyrsGOSPEL OF THE DAY: LUKE 13: 1- 9 At that time, some people who were present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. He asked them, “Do you think that because the Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower fell on them at Siloam—do you think that they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you—but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.” Then he told them this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, but whenever he came looking for fruit on it, he found none. Therefore, he said to his vinedresser, ‘For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have never found any. Cut it down! Why should it continue to use up the soil?’ But the vinedresser replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year while I dig around it and fertilize it. Perhaps it will bear fruit next year. If so, well and good. If not, then you can cut it down.’ ”Reflection by Steve Sandoval : CEO and Training Director-LeadCore Training and Consultancy.
