Seek Reconciliation with God

03-27-2022Weekly ReflectionFr. Arul Doss

Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus,

We have reached the fourth Sunday in our Lenten journey towards the Easter. Traditionally, it is called Rejoice Sunday (Laetare Sunday). Anticipating Easter joy, today’s readings invite us to rejoice by being reconciled with God through repentance and the confession of our sins and by celebrating our coming home to be with our loving and forgiving God.

We learn from the failures of our ancestors

03-20-2022Weekly ReflectionFr. Arul Doss

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. We remember today (03-19-2022) St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He was a righteous , humble, hard working and responsible man in the Holy family of Jesus. May our mighty God bless all our families through the intercession of St. Joseph. On this third Sunday of Lent, our central theme today is repentance. Repentance is, feeling sorry for the sin we committed, and a firm resolve not to deliberately commit it again. Sincere repentance provokes God’s compassion, mercy and love.

He is preparing us to go with Him in a few short weeks to a hilltop, Golgotha, where He will lay down His life for our sake — and finally to take us to an empty cave where He triumphed over sin and death once and for all.
