The 5th Sunday in Lent -- March 17 2024
Manage episode 407265840 series 3561445
We describe the books of the Bible as being divided in to two sections. We typically call them the Old Testament and the New Testament. But another name for Testament is Covenant. I think that may be worth considering as you hear Scriptures…some of the readings come from the Old Covenant, which is not completely in effect any longer, and some come from the New Covenant, which we celebrate at each Mass.
I hope that this final week of Lent sees you as being prepared for the upcoming Holy Week, the Triduum, and ultimately for the glory of Easter.
