March 25, 2012 – Numbers 21:5-7 - The Bronze Serpent


In his homily today, Fr. Glenn McDonald talked on how the Israelites became impatient about their plight during the time of Moses. He said we can relate this story to our lives which is full of bumps and difficulties. What we need to do is to say “I accept” to whatever difficulties and trials we are facing. We should pray for the gift of acceptance if things didn’t work out well in our lives. We should present and offer to the Lord our problems and have the gift of faith to believe that God will help us find solutions to our present situations. 

During this Lent, let us examine ourselves how we became impatient, lose hope in our sordid lives and feel sorry for the sins we have committed against God. Life is not a bed of roses or near perfection but with thorns or sufferings. God has unlimited love for everybody and he will not deny anyone who seeks help and asks forgiveness from Him.
