21 March 2025 - Friday of the 2nd week in Lent
Gen 37, 3-4. 12-13. 17-28; Mat 21, 33-43. 45-46
Homily
The two readings for this Mass speak of violence. In the Old Testament reading, eleven of the twelve patriarchs of Israel commit violence against their brothers. In the parable, Jesus speaks of the violence committed against Him by the chief priests and the elders of the people. In both cases, God was able to draw salvation from man's sin.
