SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME C Lectionary #81
How do believers behave? David offers an example, Jesus lists some examples, and the psalm sings of God's mercy.
Farewell to the Alleluia
Today is the last Sunday before the Church sets aside the Alleluia and the Gloria for its annual Lenten observance beginning on Ash Wednesday. Let the whole assembly join today in joyful alleluias to celebrate the paschal mystery of Christ's victory over sin and death in anticipation of the coming Easter celebration, just over forty days away.
1 Samuel 26:2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23. By his example, David shows his faith in God and in God's working through human institutions. He also reveals compassion by his decision not to kill Saul.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (102) 103 . Praise God's mercy, for God forgives our iniquity.
