The middle of Lent seems to be like an exhilarating NASCAR ride. The gospel readings speed and gain momentum as they approach the final episode of Jesus’ earthly life. Each and everyday there are words that God speaks, Jesus illustrates and the apostles elaborate. There is so much to learn and observe. March always brings in a quiet sadness for me - the end of the month marks my father’s passing. But today’s first reading again reminds me that there is a life which is so much glorious that this one waiting for us. A world in which there are no tears, no distress, no illness, no hunger. Nothing on this earth can beat all that, can it?
