“He said to his father in reply; ‘Look, all these years I

served you...yet you never gave me even a young goat to

feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who

swallowed up you property with prostitutes, for him you

slaughter the fattened calf.”’ Luke 15:29-30

Fourth Sunday of Lent

Jos 5:9a, 10-12; Ps 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7; 2 Cor 5:17-21; Lk 15:1-3, 11-32

No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate

of the yield, of the land, of Canaan. Joshua 5:12

What constitutes a miracle? Many would say a miracle is something

extraordinary, something mysterious, something beyond our power.

Manna in the desert was a miracle, for it mysteriously appeared

every morning. But when the Israelites entered the Promised Land,

the manna ceased. Now they ate “the yield of the land.” But isn’t it

a miracle that land produces food for us to eat? The writer Wendell

Berry says that Jesus’ changing of water into wine was “a very

small miracle.” He adds, “We forget the greater and still continuing

miracle by which water (and soil and sunlight) is turned into

grapes.”

As we reach the halfway point in Lent, let us try to become more

aware of the ordinary (yet extraordinary!) miracles in our daily life:

a bud on a tree, a robin building a nest, a child’s laughter, a life-

nourishing rainfall, a friend’s forgiveness, our own beating heart.

Creator God, help me to see and appreciate the ordinary miracles

in my daily life.

Marriage Moment

Lent is a time of penance and purification, but we needn’t walk

around with sour faces. Do something foolish on April Fool’s

Day this week. Healthy families laugh together. Do you and your

spouse have any running jokes?

Parenting Pointer

Earlier this month was National Day of Unplugging. If you

missed it, try fasting from any unessential use of cell phones,

internet, screens—anything that takes you away from your

family.
