Stewardship Reflections Sacred Heart of Jesus Third Sunday of Lent Weekend of March 6/7, 2021 The cleansing of the temple shows Jesus in a moment of righteous anger — not something we see South Sunset and West 8th Street – PO Box 1347 very often. In this passage, Jesus is angry at the misuse of the temple area. He sees people bartering Littlefield, TX 79339 over mere pennies, animals being bought for sacrifice, and people milling about in a space designated sacredheartlittlefield.org for prayer and worship. This all seems foreign to us, as our churches do not resemble this chaotic scene. Or do they? Are we good stewards of our space? Jesus was angered at the lack of reverence in His Father’s house. Do we struggle with this in our own church? Do we approach the sanctuary Sunday, March 7, 2021 in awe, knowing that God is present there? Do we pray in earnest, or mumble our way through the  Third Sunday of Lent  Mass? Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma Fin de semana del 6/7 de marzo de 2021

La limpieza del templo muestra a Jesús en un momento de justa ira, algo que no vemos muy a menudo. CLERGY Lord, you have the words of everlasting life. –John 6:68c

En este pasaje, Jesús se enfada por el mal uso de la zona del templo. Ve que la gente hace trueques Pastor: por meros centavos, que se compran animales para el sacrificio y que la gente se arremolina en un Tú tienes, Señor, palabras de vida eterna. – Jn 6:68c Fr. Ángelo Consemino espacio destinado a la oración y el culto. Todo esto nos parece extraño, ya que nuestras iglesias no se parecen a esta escena caótica. ¿O no? ¿Somos buenos administradores de nuestro espacio? Jesús Deacon: se enfadó por la falta de reverencia en la casa de su Padre. ¿Luchamos con esto en nuestra propia Rev. Mr. Richard Flores iglesia? ¿Nos acercamos al santuario con temor, sabiendo que Dios está presente allí? ¿Rezamos 448-0328 con seriedad, o murmuramos durante la misa? ------PARISH OFFICE Sacred Heart Stewardship Regular Weekly Collection 806-385-6043 Thank you for your support and generosity!
