OUR LADY OF SORROWS CATHOLIC CHURCH MARCH 1ST , 2020

I SUNDAY OF LENT

…Then the Devil left Him and, behold, angels came and

ministered to Him.”(Mt. 4:11).”Entonces lo dejo el diablo y

se acercaron los angeles para servirle. (Mt. 4:11). This is

what we read at the end of this Sunday’s Gospel. It is

interesting that The Son of God allowed Him Self to be on

our level and to suffer so much so that angels ministered to

Him at the end. During the time of Lent we are invited to

enter into the desert with Jesus. It should be a difficult

time; a challenge for all of us as we embrace this beautiful

liturgical season. We are reminded that we will not be

alone in the dry desert without the pleasures of the world.

That we should ask for help from the angels, from the

saints, and from Jesus Him Self. If we can deny ourselves

during this time, we will experience more the fullness of the

Easter Resurrection, which, will ultimately lead other to

Jesus and His salvation. Amen.

Thank you and God bless you.
