Third Sunday of Lent, Year C

Tempered with humility

Reading I: Exodus 3:1–8b, 13–15 (the call of Moses)
Reading II: 1 Corinthians 10:1–6, 10–12 (against overconfidence)
Gospel: Luke 13:1–19 (calls to penance; parables of the reign of God)

Key Passage: The reign of God is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches. (Luke 13:19b)

Adult: What important work could bear fruit in your life right now if you have more confidence in God’s loving care?
Child: What great work would you like to do as you grow older? What can you do to begin now?
