3/6/2010 -- Third Saturday in Lent

Saints and Feasts: 42 Martyrs of Amorion in Phrygia; Finding the Precious Cross by St. Helen; Hesychios the Wonderworker

Epistle: Hebrews 10:32-38

Gospel: Mark 2:14-17

To ponder and mediate on: Holiness is the fruit of one’s efforts and gift of the Holy Spirit. Holiness is reached by him who wears a cross and in the name of Christ wages warfare against the obstacles to holiness, becoming akin to Christ (Saint John of San Francisco).

Challenge: Think about the “obstacles” in your life that are keeping you from God. Figure out a way to remove at least one today.
