Tuesday – 3rd Week of Lent – A
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, on this third Tuesday in the holy season of Lent, may the Lord give you his peace. Friends, in today's readings, we have a plea for God's mercy from Azariah in the Book of Daniel. And then we have our Lord's insistence that after we have received that mercy, we ought to extend it to others, as illustrated in the parable we hear from the Gospel of Matthew.
