Brothers' Bread Episode 29: God's Grace in Our Dryness

<p>“In a culture of materialism and self-glorification, may we open our eyes towards greater sensitivity and attention to others, especially those in need.” - Br. Felipe Belleza FSC</p> <p><strong>Second Sunday of Lent <br> Reading from Luke 13:1-9</strong></p> <p>Some people told Jesus about the Galileans<br> whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.<br> Jesus said to them in reply,<br> “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way<br> they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?<br> By no means!<br> But I tell you, if you do not repent,<br> you will all perish as they did!<br> Or those eighteen people who were killed<br> when the tower at Siloam fell on them—<br> do you think they were more guilty<br> than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?<br> By no means!<br> But I tell you, if you do not repent,<br> you will all perish as they did!”<br> <br> And he told them this parable:<br> “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard,<br> and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,<br> he said to the gardener,<br> ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree<br> but have found none.<br> So cut it down.<br> Why should it exhaust the soil?’<br> He said to him in reply,<br> ‘Sir, leave it for this year also,<br> and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;<br> it may bear fruit in the future.<br> If not you can cut it down.’”</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/yesbro">#YesBro</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/brothersbread">#BrothersBread</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/delasalleph">#DeLaSallePH</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dlsbrothersph">#DLSBrothersPH</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fscvocations">#FSCvocations</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sundayreflections">#SundayReflections</a></p>
