Fr. Cedric Pisegna, CP, offers his reflection on the readings for the Third Sunday of Lent.
In the Gospel, it is the story of the cleansing of the temple. Jesus is angry because His Father’s house of prayer was being used for commerce. Prayer was being interrupted. Fr. Cedric reminds us that the church invites us to be determined, to be faithful and to endure. Lent is a time of prayer. Lent is not a sprint; it is a marathon.
