Baptized Christians should scrutinize our own lives today


March 19, 2017
Third Sunday of Lent

Today in Catholic Churches all over the world we celebrate the first of three scrutinies with the Elect and with their local faith communities.  The readings today are explicitly chose to help the Elect as they undergo the final preparations for the Easter Sacraments.  They are to do the same for each of us as well.  We as Baptized Christians can scrutinize our own lives today, following the example of the Elect in allowing our Lord to uncover and to heal all that is weak and sinful in the way we live.
