"Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies"

In this Sunday's Readings for Mar. 25, 2012, the Fifth Sunday in Lent, some Greeks who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover feast say to
Philip, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus." Jesus responds, "The hour has
come for the Son of Man to be glorified." Our Discussion Questions
will guide your Sunday Bible Study with family, friends and church groups.

Jesus did many good things for us

"Repent, and believe in the gospel."

In this Sunday's Readings, February 26, 2012, we hear the story of the flood and Noah’s ark. Also, the Lenten season
begins, for Jesus, as He is driven out into the desert by the spirit.

Fr. John J. Ludvik tells us that finding God in situations like Noah encountered
is

"Child, your sins are forgiven."

In last Sunday’s Gospel reading we had the story of the healing of the
leper and we reflected on the fact that, in its consequences, sin is a
