Third Sunday of Lent (Year B)

St. John 2.13-25: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up".
"No temple was ever more systematically destroyed than was His body. The dome of the temple, His head, was crowned with thorns; its foundations, His sacred feet, were riven with nails; the transepts, His hands, were stretched out in the form of a cross; the Holy of Holies, His Heart, was pierced with a lance" (Bishop Fulton Sheen, Life of Christ).
CCC#584.
