FAITH BOOK
1ST SUNDAY OF LENT
-C- MARCH 10, 2019
Deuteronomy 26:4-10; Psalm 91; Romans 10: 8-13; Luke 4: 1-13
By: Jude Siciliano, OP
Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. "Faith Book" is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.
From today’s Gospel reading:
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan
And was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days,
To be tempted by the devil.
Reflection:
Jesus not only shared our human nature but, like us, was subject to temptations. In the course of our daily lives we also face temptations to put comfort and material possessions over the sacrifices involved in being a disciple. We get sidetracked and lose sight of what and who are important in our lives.
So, we ask ourselves:
• What are our priorities; who and what are important in our lives?
• How to do express those priorities by the choices we make each day?
