Third Sunday of Lent • Year C

The rules that control our destiny are simple: “We must love God above all and our neighbor as ourselves.” If we just try to do that at every “now” that is given to us, we need not worry about what will happen to us at the end of our time. Christ has promised that, when we plunge over the great Falls of Death, he will catch us on the other side. Just as our virtuous loving in this life has drawn us towards God, so in eternity that same love will “glue” us to God forever.
