Readings for Sunday, March 22, 2026 — Third Sunday of Lent
Ezekiel 37:12-14; Psalm 130:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8; Romans 8:8-11; John:1:1-45
Suggested Reflection Questions:
- The psalm discusses the Lord’s redemptive power. Even though we are imperfect, we still receive mercy from God. Has there been a time where you had to forgive someone even though it was difficult? What compelled you to show them mercy?
- The second reading discusses the idea of eternal life through the spirit. How do you feel about this concept? What do you imagine heaven to be like?
- In John’s Gospel, the story of Lazarus rising from the dead is told. What does this miracle symbolize about our own eternal life? Why do you think Jesus chose to bring Lazarus back to life?
