Principle and Foundation for basic and small Catholic web site development

This small Catholic web site was inspired by the Message of the Holy Father for the 36th World Communications Day with the theme: "Internet: A New Forum for Proclaiming the Gospel", Sunday, May 12, 2002.

In response to the call, web developer methods for Catholics are employed for basic and small web site development. These methods also integrate new social networking techniques as a means to promote a culture of peace, respect, dialogue, and friendship in the new digital continent.

Enkindle in Them the Fire of Your Love: 3rd Sunday of Lent (C)

Liturgical readings

Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15
Psalm 103
1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12
Luke 13:1-9

"Perhaps it will bear fruit. If not, it shall be cut down."

We continue with the gospel of Luke. There are two parts of the gospel for the 3rd Sunday of Lent (C). The first part speaks about the mystery of suffering, sin, and the need to reform. Jesus explains this through the example of suffering which the Galileans experienced when their blood was used in Pilate's sacrifices. The second part has Jesus teach a parable on the unfruitful fig tree. The owner of the vineyard wanted to cut it down. However, the vinedresser said to his master, 'Sir, leave it another year and I will fertilize it so that it will bear fruit. If not it shall be cut down.'

The previous chapter in the gospel of Luke (chapter 12) teaches various themes which Jesus wants us to know about: how people are not to follow the hypocrisy of the Pharisees; the need to fear God; commitment to God; the parable of the rich fool; trusting in God more than riches; the need to be watchful and vigilant; and the wisdom of settling with one's opponent before going to the courts. On the other hand, the passages after the gospel for this Sunday has teachings on: the parable of the mustard seed; the parable of the yeast; and the virtue of entering through the "narrow door".

The gospels present Jesus in the image of a healer and a Good Shepherd. This Sunday's gospel presents Him more as a moral teacher, and One who champions the value of mercy, patience, perseverance, and goodness. As Christians, we know how important these spiritual values are in reforming our lives. Our Christian life is a process of ongoing conversion - letting God change our hearts daily and make our life bear fruit with compassion, mercy, charity and good works. Lent is a special time to focus on how Jesus practiced these in His self-sacrificing life and love for us. Perhaps we can take time to reflect how we had led our Christian life since Lent 2009. Have I become more merciful, compassionate, or charitable to others - especially to those in my circle of family, friends and my everyday work or business routine?
