| First Sunday of Lent - March 10, 2019 | |
| Deuteronomy 26:4-10 Psalm 91:1-2,10-15 Romans 10:8-13 Luke 4:1-13 |
Our salvation is rooted in God’s actions in history. We can trust in God’s love. Salvation comes to us from Christ’s resurrection Jesus is ever faithful to the Father. |
| Second Sunday of Lent - March 17, 2019 | |
| Genesis 15:5-12,17-18 Philippians 3:17–4:1 Luke 9:28-36 Psalm 27:1,7-9,13-14 |
Abraham trusted God totally. Christ will transform our earthly being. The community is given notice of the resurrection. The Lord who is light brings light in our lives. |
| Third Sunday of Lent - March 24, 2019 | |
| Exodus 17:3-7 Romans 5:1-2,5-8 John 4:5-42 |
In the desert, Israel thirsted for more than water. God has loved us to the point of giving the Son’s life. The Woman of Samaria thirsted for eternal life. |
| Fourth Sunday of Lent - March 31, 2019 | |
| 1 Samuel 16:6-7,10-13 Ephesians 5:8-14 John 9:1-41 |
The Lord chose David to be a king pure of heart. Christ calls us to be holy and to love tenderly. The touch of Christ brings light to one living in darkness. |
| Fifth Sunday of Lent - April 7, 2019 | |
| Ezekiel 37:12-14 Romans 8:8-11 John 11:1-45 |
God will restore Israel to life and to land. The Spirit in us grants resurrection already. Jesus gives new life to Lazarus who had died. |
