8 March 2026 – Lent 3A (COCU 21A)

HOPE
(Romans 5:1-11)
Though bad things happen,
heartened by the breath of God,
we journey in hope.

SOMETHING HAS CHANGED!

Year A again, and in exploring the Second Reading, hopefully each week, I’ll try commenting in a single haiku.

To reduce site maintenance – and the potential for errors – I’ve  changed The Weeks Ahead drop-down menu to a single-click link, Lectionary Resources, containing links to Sundays (and some other days) of the 3-year RCL

It’s a page that’s always been there, but I’ve changed it to (hopefully) make it more usable.

About

Year C, and my posts are an exploration of the First Testament readings.

Contact and a note about using the material on these pages.
