The Short Reflection for the 3rd Sunday in Lent (C)
Readings: Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15; 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12; and Luke 13:1-9
Selected Passage: 'For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?' (Luke 13: 7)
Reflection: Years have we been living on this earth, yet the same question is asked of us - do we bear fruit for others? Beware, else we too are cut down! Why should we exhaust the soil when we neither bear fruit nor give shade for others to reap.
In this season of Lent, we hear the invitation to conversion - a change of heart and mending our ways. Conversion also , means bearing fruits. Thus we need NOT only listen to the Word of God, to pray and fast, but also to do charitable works. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
