Commantary on the 3rd Sunday of Lent (C)- 2013.03.03LUKE 13: 01–09 (Lent 3C) TEXT The Galileans 1 There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus? 3 I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Tower of Siloam 4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Silo’am fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Fig Tree 6 And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?’ 8 And he answered him, ‘Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure. 9 And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” Parsh Notices 3rd Sunday of Lent (C) 3rd March 2013COLLECTIONS Offertory €1206 Share €694 Parish Envelope €115 PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL (PPC) Meeting on Thurs 7th March at 7.30pm.

Setting 28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. Jesus Transfigured 29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white. Moses & Elijah 30 And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Eli’jah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem. Peter’s Offer 32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli’jah” –– not knowing what he said. Father’s Voice 34 As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” They Kept Silent 36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen. |
