Third Sunday of Lent - A Reflection with Lorena Portocarrero (Fraternas)


Listen Later

The Mass readings for the third Sunday of Lent present us with the Gospel about the cleansing of the temple. The reading form the Gospel of John tells us that Jesus went to the temple area and found people trading animals and changing money. We then see Jesus drive out the money changers in what seems like anger. Why did Jesus react so strongly? And what can we learn about this Gospel passage during the season of Lent?
Today's feature is an audio reflection by Lorena Portocarrero, the newly-appointed Vocations Promoter for the Archdiocese of Sydney, and Superior of Sydney's Marian Community of Reconciliation - more commonly known as the "Fraternas". As we continue our Sunday reflections in Lent marking the Year of Consecrated Life, listen to today's podcast and ask yourself... what is Jesus telling me in today's Gospel?
Lord, my God and my loving Father, you have made me to know you, to love you, to serve you, and thereby to find and to fulfill my deepest longings. I know that you are in all things, and that every path can lead me to you.
But of them all, there is one especially by which you want me to come to you. Since I will do what you want of me, I pray you, send your Holy Spirit to me: into my mind, to show me what you want of me; into my heart, to give me the determination to do it, and to do it with all my love, with all my mind, and with all of my strength right to the end. Jesus, I trust in you. Amen
