La plegaria de los niños, del Réquiem de Britten, nos lacera el corazón delante de tantas muertes indefensas THE KINGDOM IS AMONG YOU SON, ALL I HAVE IS YOURS

Lent Cycle C WAY towards LIFE Third step of the Road: To bear Conversion fruits in this Paschal way Sun 1- We are all tempted along the way Sun 2 - Jesus Transfigured is the SUMMIT Sun 3 – Way of conversion (Vineyard with fruit) Sun 4 - The Father awaits for the son that has left Sun 5 – God forgives us (as the adulteress)

Ruins where the Tyropoeon Valley (or of the Cheesemakers ) begins and where Siloam is located (currently Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhood) Photos of Siloam God expects a conversion this Lent

Lk 13:1-9 Jesus was just about this time that some people arrived and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices. At this he said to them,

As in the conflict of Syria and the immigrants, as 2,000 years ago After killing, the powerful wash their hands Pilate washes his hands

'Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than any others, that this should have happened to them? They were not, I tell you. No; but unless you repent you will all perish as they did.

If we do not convert, we will continue causing innocent victims Converting is to assume the responsibility of making a NEW world, without injustice The Palestinian Siloam, built on a cemetery

Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, killing them all? Do you suppose that they were more guilty than all the other people living in Jerusalem? They were not, I tell you. No; but unless you repent you will all perish as they did.'

Misfortunes are multiplied among the dispossessed The change we need, has to come from equal opportunities, fruit of a LOVE full of goodness Remains, where is said that the Tower fell

He told this parable, 'A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none.

It is useless for history A fruitless lifetime, has no sense Tomb of Benei Hezir (Siloam)

He said to his vinedresser, "For three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and finding none. Cut it down: why should it be taking up the ground?"

Each lent is a new opportunity TODAY is the most important plot that I have to grow

"Sir," the man replied, "leave it one more year and give me time to dig round it and manure it: it may bear fruit next year; if not, then you can cut it down."

Each Lent is the opportunity to explore this Way of Life, passing through death On the Cross, Jesus has transformed our inconsistency, in FRUITS of LIFE

Lord, before so much physical or moral corruption engulfing the Earth, grant us to make gestures of CONVERSION to change the world
