Third Sunday of Lent, Year C
- Return and live (Ez. 18:32)
The God of Vincent de Paul, the God of Louise de Marillac, the God of the other saints, blesseds and venerables of the Vincentian family, is the same God that reveals himself to one seeking to follow in the footsteps of these prominent persons.
Perhaps today’s seer, because his sympathies—more or less like Moses—lie with the mistreated and the weak, has risked his life and his future. It may seem to the same seer that his only option is to endure the hard life and settle for the simple pleasures of the workaday world, allowing himself to be carried away by occasional surprises that both fascinate and frighten.
