                                          III NIEDZIELA WIELKIEGO POSTU – Świątynia, a nie targowisko
Świątynia oznacza miejsce spotkania człowieka z Bogiem. Powinna być wolna od wszelkich ludzkich interesów. Jezus wskazuje w ten sposób, jak
ważna jest czystość wiary. Tymczasem dramatem współczesnego człowieka jest to, że bardzo często czyni targowiskiem własne serce i sumienie.
Człowiek gubi się, żyjąc jedynie własnymi interesami. Gubi się, kiedy w jego życiu wszystko staje się ważniejsze od Boga. Jezus pokazuje nam ró-
wnież, że On sam jest nową świątynią. Prowadzi nas w ten sposób do tajemnicy zmartwychwstania. Dlatego praca nad własnym sumieniem jest
ciągłą drogą paschalną, drogą do nawrócenia i życia…
