THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT IN ORDINARY TIME (B)
CHRIST, THE WISDOM OF GOD
Today, we celebrate the foolishness of God that is wiser than any human wisdom; the utter folly of his love that allowed the destruction of the temple of the body of his Son, and we dedicate ourselves anew to the Law of the Lord which gives wisdom to the simple.
