Homily for Friday of the second week of Lent (March 6, 2026) (2)

6 March 2026 - Friday of the 2nd week in Lent

Gen 37, 3-4. 12-13. 17-28; Mat 21, 33-43. 45-46

Homily

The two readings for this Mass speak of violence. In the Old Testament reading, eleven of the twelve patriarchs of Israel commit violence against their brothers. In the parable, Jesus speaks of the violence committed against Him by the chief priests and the elders of the people. In both cases, God was able to draw salvation from man's sin.
