Wednesday – 3rd Week in Ordinary Time C
As we strive onwards to our eternal goal, we are given a bit of respite through today’s readings which speak to us about God’s tender compassion for his people in offering the ultimate sacrifice so as to atone for their sins that they could not possibly atone for themselves since they were committed against an infinite God of infinite dignity. These sins both weigh upon us in this life, and impede our entrance into the next. Jesus alone has given us an opportunity to truly overcome our sinful natures.
