Homily for the Third Sunday of Lent There, in the desert, Moses is called by name: ‘Moses, Moses’! He realized that he is needed. In the solitude, the vulnerability and powerlessness of desert-life, he is called. In spite of his earlier mistakes and sins, God calls him. God sees the potential in Moses. God calls him in spite of his weaknesses. God does not always call the qualified. He qualifies those who are called. To those who say, ‘I am not worthy’, God says, ‘I will make you worthy’. Your weaknesses and your history will not stop God from using you. You need to say “Yes” and God will break you, form you, reform you, mould you and use you. You need to surrender yourself into God’s hands as clay in the potter’s hand. During this week of Lent, acknowledge your sins and your hideous past. Repent and accept a new call.Readings for March 20, 20221st Reading: Exodus Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 103: 1-2, 3-4, 6-7, 8, 112nd Reading: 1 Corinthians Gospel Reading: Luke
