  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Lent.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A heart that is too soft has to be protected. A heart that is too tough can’t be touched.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What good is it to have a heart that can be hurt by this world? Many choose to numb themselves rather than feel the pain of life. But becoming numb leaves us with a heart that is unable. Unable to feel pain but also unable to feel joy. As Christians, we are called to have a heart like the heart of Jesus: vulnerable and able.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from March 21, 2021:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Jeremiah 31:31-34&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 51:3-4, 12-15&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Hebrews 5:7-9&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;John 12:20-33&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://bulldogcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/to-the-heart-vulnerable-and-able-1.pdf"&gt;Download the Homily Study&lt;/a&gt;
