This is the last Sunday before Lent. We ask in the Collect that the whole course of our world may be directed by the Lord's peaceful rule and that the Church may rejoice, untroubled in her devotion.
This is a prayer that is urgently needed in our troubled world.
The first reading is from the Book of Sirach 27:4-7
Our faults appear when we speak. "The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had; so too does one's speech disclose the bent of one's mind. Praise no one before he speaks, for it is then that people are tested."
Responsorial Psalm: "Lord, it is good to give thanks to you."
The second reading is from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 15: 54-58
The Gospel is Luke 6: 39-45
It is time to begin to think of the season of Lent. The Church gives us six weeks to prepare for Easter. We are invited to follow Jesus as He shows us how much He loves us.
