Third Sunday of Lent: God's love does not allow us to be idle; God's love for the world is so great that he gave his only Son so that all who believe in him may have eternal life. The true temple is Jesus, where the Father is; God cannot be bought, Jesus brought the words of God the Father, these words are also addressed to us, so protect the church so that it is not made for money, but for development as it should be and according to faith. We must try to go to church with self-consecration and prayer, we must all show faith in what we do and how we act. We must make efforts to purify heart, body and soul.

First Sunday of Lent: God wants to be with us; Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. We are entering the 40-day season of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday. We need to take steps towards peace with God: make an effort to rid ourselves of bad habits, do penance and good deeds, abstain from food and control ourselves. God takes the first step towards reconciliation with us humans: God has made a covenant of peace with humans and with the next generation, just as is said in the story of the flood.

The leper is healed; I am the way, the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father but through me. Holy Gospel written by Md. Mark 1, 40-.45 : At that time, a leper came to Jesus; he begged him and, falling on his knees, said to him: "If you are willing, you can make me clean. Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said: "I am willing; be cleansed... Today's reading talks about the law and the leper who has to present himself to the priest to certify his healing... There are many spiritual leproses that afflict humanity, and this is what we are trying to deal with, together and in the Lord.

Ordinary Fifth Sunday "B": Suffering has a higher reason. Behind what is beyond human comprehension, it's God we can lean on, as Job experienced. People who don't understand the meaning of life question themselves, the danger and suffering in this world is a way of seeking God. People must fight and reject disappointment and turn to God because He protects the poor and vulnerable. Peter's house, where Christ was, represents the Church, while the human Church is the disciples of Jesus; the Gospel read today reflects the human service rendered to the Church. We all have a role to serve in the Church...
