Homily for Thursday of the 4th Week of Lent

Our readings today help us to focus on the fact that God does not give up on us; God wants to have a relationship with us while we live on this earth and He wants us to live with Him in eternity in His kingdom of heaven.

We may fail to follow God’s will, but God is always trying to point out the true way to His kingdom.

Sometimes, our faith seems to focus a lot on the wrath of God but, that focus obscures the relationship that God truly desires to have with us.

Let us pray for an openness to God’s call, that we may with faith and wisdom, live out that call and truly become the people God has created us to be.
