5 th Sunday of Lent The Hockley Ordinariate Mission 10.30 am Solemn Mass at St. Pius X. Celebrant & Preacher Fr. Bob White The “Hour” Comes:  Our Friend,Scott Hahn Reflects on the Fifth Sunday of Lent          http://www.salvationhistory.com/blog/the_hour_comes_scott_hahn_reflects_on_the_fifth_sunday_of_lent/ Readings:  Jeremiah 31:31-34 Psalms 51:3-4 ,  12-13 ,  14-15 Hebrews 5:7-9 John 12:20-33 Our readings today are filled with anticipation. The days are coming, Jeremiah prophesies in today’s First Reading. The hour has come, Jesus says in the Gospel. The new covenant that God promised to Jeremiah is made in the “hour” of Jesus - in His death, resurrection, and ascension to the Father’s right hand. The prophets said this new covenant would return Israel’s exiled tribes from the ends of the world (see Jeremiah 31:1 , 3-4 , 7-8 ). Jesus too predicted His passion would gather the dispersed children of God (see  John 11:52 ). But today He promises

Jeff Woolnough IV Station of the Cross,  Jesus meets his Mother Living in the Light:  Our Friend Scott Hahn Reflects  on the Fourth Sunday of Lent                              http://www.salvationhistory.com/blog/living_in_the_light_scott_hahn_reflects_on_the_fourth_sunday_of_lent/ Readings:  2 Chronicles 36:14-17 ,  19-23 Psalm 137:1-6 Ephesians 2:4-10 John 3:14-21  (see also “ Binding Isaac, Crucifying Jesus ”) The Sunday readings in Lent have been showing us the high points of salvation history - God’s covenant with creation in the time of Noah; His promises to Abraham; the law He gave to Israel at Sinai. In today’s First Reading, we hear of the destruction of the kingdom established by God’s final Old Testament covenant - the covenant with David (see 2 Samuel 7; Psalm 89:3 ). His chosen people abandoned the law He ga

3rd Sunday of Lent 10.30 am Ordinariate Sung Mass at Hockley Celebrant & Preacher Fr. Bob White Sunday Gospel: John 2:13-25 Spiritual Sacrifices:  Our Friend, Scott Hahn Reflects on the  Third Sunday of Lent Please visit his site: http://www.salvationhistory.com/blog/spiritual_sacrifices/ Readings: Exodus 20:1-17 Psalm 19:8-11 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 John 2:13-25 Jesus does not come to destroy the temple, but to fulfill it (see  Matthew 5:17 ) - to reveal its true purpose in God’s saving plan. He is the Lord the prophets said would come - to purify the temple, banish the merchants, and make it a house of prayer for all peoples (see  Zechariah 14:21 ;  Malachi 3:1-5 ;  Isaiah 56:7 ). The God who made the heavens and the earth, who brought Israel out of slavery, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands (see  Acts 7:48 ;  2 Samuel 7:5 ). Nor does He need offerings of oxen, sheep, or doves (see  Psalm 50:7-13 ). Notice in today’s First Reading th
