4th Week of Lent – Friday C
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the Lord give you peace. My apologies for the past few days of audio-less homilies due to internet outages, but we are now back to normal, glory be to God. As we reunite to reflect on the powerful readings chosen for this Friday, wherein we see Jesus and the Apostles heading into Jerusalem for the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. This feast, also known as Sukkot, is a time of joy and remembrance; it commemorates the Israelites' forty years of wandering in the desert, during which they lived in temporary shelters. It is a festival that celebrates God's provision and presence, as well as the call to dwell with Him.
