Reflection
God reveals Himself to Moses as “I AM” in the burning bush, showing His active, liberating presence. Paul urges us not to repeat the unfaithfulness of the past, and Jesus, in the Parable of the Fig Tree, grants a time for conversion. In this Lenten season, let us open our hearts to God’s voice that calls us to renewal. It is not only about avoiding punishment but about bearing abundant fruit in our lives, trusting in our Father’s patient love.
