First Sunday of Lent

First Sunday of Lent

“lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil”

Jesus is led by the Spirit into the desert and is tempted by the devil. With Jesus, we call upon that same Spirit to lead us in moments ofdryness and withered spiritual life.  Lent calls us to recognize thetemptations in our lives and humble ourselves to call upon the Lordin our weakness.  In these desert moments we recognize our thirstand hunger to know and love our God more  deeply, more completely. Today Jesus continues to offer us the bread of heaven and the livingwater of His Living Word.
