The Fourth Sunday in Lent -- March 10 2024

You know that relationships are hard. Of all the relationships humans enter in to, the most intimate, the most satisfying, and the most challenging, is marriage. How about our relationship with God? Well, guess what? God wants our relationship with Him to be even deeper than our human marriages. How have we responded to that proposal so far in our lives? How did the people of the Bible respond? How did God respond back? Today we have 2 reflections on the Gospel. At the beginning of the first one is a description of what each is about. There is a timeline at the end of the show notes if you want to skip over one of the reflections.
