3rd Wednesday of Lent (3/4/26) SJ (Pastor Green)
Zechariah 1:1-6: In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo: The Lord was very angry with your ancestors. Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord
Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty. Do not be like
your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and
your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. Where are your ancestors now? And
the prophets, do they live forever? But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors? “Then they repented and said, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.’”
