Sunday Gospel - The lesson from this parable is that, the owner of the fig trees wanted to chop it down as it was not producing fruit, Jesus tells him to give the tree one more year. Explaining that God is merciful and will delay judgement, always giving us time to repent and follow Him, but we need to ensure we do repent regularly and come to follow Him.
Évangile du dimanche - La leçon de cette parabole est que le propriétaire du figuier voulait le couper parce qu'il ne produisait pas de fruits, mais Jésus lui dit de donner à l'arbre une année de plus. Il explique que Dieu est miséricordieux et retarde le jugement, nous donnant toujours le temps de nous repentir et de le suivre, mais nous devons nous assurer que nous nous repentons régulièrement et que nous le suivons.

Sunday Gospel - March 9th
Today we are reminded that no matter how often and intensely we are tempted to sin, we can overcome those temptations when we rely on God rather than on ourselves alone. God is always with us, and will never leave us.
Aujourd'hui, il nous est rappelé que, quelles que soient la fréquence et l'intensité des tentations de pécher, nous pouvons les surmonter lorsque nous nous appuyons sur Dieu plutôt que sur nous-mêmes. Dieu est toujours avec nous et ne nous abandonnera jamais.

Ash Wednesday - helps us remember that everyone gets older, and that it's important to be good and kind. It's also a time to say sorry to God if we've done something wrong, and to try to be better.
Le mercredi des cendres nous aide à nous rappeler que tout le monde vieillit et qu'il est important d'être bon et gentil. C'est aussi le moment de s'excuser auprès de Dieu si nous avons fait quelque chose de mal, et d'essayer de nous améliorer.
Sunday Gospel: Today the gospel tells us that a healthy tree will grow good fruit...and an unhealthy tree will grow poor fruit. Jesus is telling us that what is in our heart will become what we yield. Therefore, what is in our hearts, will shape how you live. Live a life with honesty and integrity.
L'évangile du dimanche : Aujourd'hui, l'évangile nous dit qu'un arbre sain produira de bons fruits... et qu'un arbre malsain produira de mauvais fruits. Jésus nous dit que ce qui est dans notre cœur deviendra ce que nous produirons. Par conséquent, ce qui est dans notre cœur déterminera notre façon de vivre. Menez une vie honnête et intègre.
