STRENGTH AGAINST TEMPTATION

The first Sunday of the season of Lent always in-cludes 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 tempta-tion comes our way in our own gardens of delight as well as the deserts of our lives. As Lent begins, our at-tention 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.

Blessings, Fr. Thomas Kiely

LENTEN FAST AND ABSTINENCE—During the season of

Lent, the Church urges the faithful to reflect a spirit of penance in their daily lives through performing acts of faith and absti-nence. FASTING requires a Catholic from the 18th birthday to the 59th birthday to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal in quantity. Those whose work or health would be impaired are excused from fast and abstinence. ABSTINENCE requires a Catholic 14 years or older to ab-stain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus– This should be observed throughout the year but al-ways during Lent. ASH WEDNESDAY & GOOD FRIDAY are days of Fast & Abstinence. FRIDAYS during Lent are days of Abstinence.
