Second Sunday of Lent First Reading Genesis 12:1-4a Responsorial Psalm Psalm 33:4-5,18-20,22 Second Reading 2 Timothy 1:8b-10 Gospel Reading Matthew 17:1-9 The First Reading deals with Abraham, our father of faith. When God asked Abram to leave his surroundings to go to an unknown territory, Abram trusted that God had a plan for him and he obeyed. The Responsorial Psalm tells us that the Lord’s eyes are up-on those who show deep and solemn respect to Him and who hope for his gracious help. Sometimes we lose our way and forget to trust HIM. What are some things that can block our way to Jesus?

Lies

Hate

Steal

Idolatry

Disobedience

Jealousy

Ungratefulness

Pride
