3/23/25 - Parable of the Fig Tree - Cycle C
Dear Families,
This Sunday, Jesus tells us about a fig tree. In Jesus’ country, a fig tree is as common as an apple tree is to us. Many people grew fig trees and looked forward to eating the figs. The fig tree in Jesus’ parable isn’t producing figs. What to do? Cut it down? The gardener gives the tree another chance and says he will add more fertilizer and give the tree more care. Jesus wants us to see God is like the gardener who wants to care for us and give us another chance. The Gospel calls us to turn toward God and be fruitful by showing love for one another.
Lent is a good time to pray and understand that we must turn from bad things and practice doing good things. Our deeds are our fruit.
As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
How can you bear good fruit with your life?
Family Prayer: Lord, increase your love in us so that we may increase the fruits of your love. Amen

March 23, 2025 -3rd Sunday of Lent
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
As we journey through Lent, today’s readings invite us to reflect on God’s patience, mercy, and our call to conversion.
In the first reading, Moses encounters the burning bush, where God reveals Himself as “I AM WHO AM” (Exodus 3:14). This moment reminds us that God sees our struggles, calls us to mission, and remains ever-present in our lives. Just as He heard the cries of Israel in Egypt, He hears our prayers and invites us to trust in His divine plan. His love is always overwhelming, super abundant and overflowing. His love is for everyone and always present, waiting for the positive response from every person no matter who they are and what is their story. His love never fails.
In the Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13:1-9). The owner wants to cut it down, but the gardener pleads for one more year to care for it. This parable highlights God’s patience and mercy—He gives us time to repent and bear fruit. However, we must not waste this opportunity. Lent is a time of renewal, a chance to deepen our relationship with God through prayer, fasting, and acts of charity.
3/23/25 - Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Mientras recorremos el camino de la Cuaresma, las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a reflexionar sobre la paciencia y la misericordia de Dios, así como sobre nuestro llamado a la conversión.
En la primera lectura, Moisés se encuentra con la zarza ardiente, donde Dios se revela a sí mismo como “YO SOY EL QUE SOY” (Éxodo 3:14). Este momento nos recuerda que Dios ve nuestras luchas, nos llama a la misión y permanece siempre presente en nuestras vidas. Así como escuchó el clamor de Israel en Egipto, también escucha nuestras oraciones y nos invita a confiar en su plan divino. Su amor es siempre inmenso, sobreabundante y desbordante. Su amor es para todos y está siempre presente, esperando una respuesta positiva de cada persona, sin importar quién sea ni cuál sea su historia. Su amor nunca falla.
En el Evangelio, Jesús cuenta la parábola de la higuera estéril (Lucas 13:1-9). El dueño quiere cortarla, pero el jardinero pide un año más para cuidarla. Esta parábola resalta la paciencia y la misericordia de Dios: Él nos da tiempo para arrepentirnos y dar fruto. Sin embargo, no debemos desperdiciar esta oportunidad. La Cuaresma es un tiempo de renovación, una oportunidad para profundizar nuestra relación con Dios a través de la oración, el ayuno y las obras de caridad.

Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.
