Readings for March 3, the Third Sunday of Lent (C)
 
First reading:  God reveals his Name: "I am Who Am"

Responsorial Psalm:  Another name for God: "Compassion and Love"

Second reading:  Learn from the lessons of the past

Gospel:  Another name for God: "I give you another chance" 

Reflection: 
People who have had "near death experiences" speak of coming back to life as "a second chance"....and they live their lives much better...e.g. give more time to their families. 
No matter what mistake we have ever made, God gives us a second chance. 
The only thing that God can't forgive is a refusal to be forgiven ("the sin against the Holy Spirit").

Not just a second chance, but "70 times 7" second chances.
.... And we should do the same for others

And see "E" in Smile file for today!

Prayer 
Jesus, thank you for giving me so many second chances. Please help me treat others the same way as you have treated me
