The earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria have shown how fragile life is. The herculean efforts to find survivors demonstrates how precious life is.

March 5: Second Sunday of Lent
Peter and two other disciples with him thought they had seen it all. They witnessed Jesus heal all sorts of people: the blind, the deaf, paralytics, lepers. They saw Jesus expel demons from the possessed, feed thousands of people with a few loaves and two fish. They were with him in the boat when he calmed a storm on the Sea of Galilee. They were astounded as he raised a girl thought to be dead back to life.

We need to consider all these, especially when making choices about the future.
