EASTER DUTY MARCH 5 TO JUNE 11 2017

FORTALEZA ANTE LA TENTACIÓN El primer domingo del tiempo de Cuaresma siem-pre incluye el relato evangélico de la tentación del Se-ñor Jesús en el desierto por el diablo. Este año tiene como trasfondo la primera lectura de Génesis, en la que se narra la primera tentación del diablo que ocurre en el jardín del Edén. El relato del Evangelio transcu-rre en el desierto. Los creyentes sabemos que la tenta-ción viene tanto en nuestros propios jardines como en los desiertos de nuestra vida. La Cuaresma comienza, y nuestra atención se dirige a esa tentación dentro de nosotros de hacernos como Dios –queremos control, poder y respuesta a todas las difíciles preguntas de la vida. A nuestras comunidades de fe se les ofrece este tiempo de arrepentimiento para que podamos unir nuestro corazón al de otros en el difícil camino de la conversión. Nos volvemos a Dios y hacia los demás buscando fortaleza ante la tentación.

May God bless you for your generosity!

Have YOU considered

Sharing God’s Blessings? Only you can decide what gift is right for you in light of your circumstances and in light of the blessings God has given you. The ideal way to give is to select a gift that you can manage on a monthly basis rather than a one-time gift. Pledging a month-ly gift enables you to give more generously in bal-ance with other important economic responsibili-ties. Thank You for your consideration!

STRENGTH AGAINST TEMPTATION

The first Sunday of the season of Lent always includes a Gospel account of the temptation of the Lord Jesus in the desert by the devil. This year, the story is set against the backdrop of the first reading from Genesis, which recounts the very first temptation by the devil. That story is set in a garden of delight. The Gospel story is set in the desert. As believers, we know that temptation comes our way in our own gar-dens of delight as well as the deserts of our lives. As Lent begins, our attention is drawn to that temptation within each of us to become like God-we want control, power, and answers to all of life's difficult questions. As communities of faith, we are given this season of repentance so that we can join our hearts with others on the difficult journey of conversion. We look to God and to one another for strength against temptation.

LOVE AND DEEDS God doesn’t want our deeds; God wants the love that prompts them. —St. Teresa of Ávila
