On this Third Sunday of Lent as we continue our journey towards the commemoration of the passion and death of Jesus, we are once again called to repentance. We are not, however, only called to conversion, but we are assured of the unfailing love of God if we seek Him with all of our hearts.
One of the desires of our Holy Father, Pope Francis, for this season of Lent is that this year "should also be lived more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God's mercy". I would like to support this desire of the Holy Father that we should all focus on this aspect more than we think of our various Lenten practices or even our weaknesses or sinfulness. We should concentrate more on our experience of God's mercy in our lives. Let us reflect on the many times God has showered His compassion upon us.
