Catholic Prayer to Bring Family Back to the Church
The First Lord's day of Lent
From The Desk of Fr. Joseph
Dear Parishioners:
On this Showtime Sun of Lent nosotros encounter that Our Lord resists the temptations of the devil, a model for our journey through Lent. Central to our religion is the belief Thai in Jesus, God has dwelt among us and, while sinless, shared our human experience in all its achievements and struggles, including temptation.
Throughout his ministry building, Jesus confronted a variety of life's temptations; today he comes face to face with Satan, the one who represents those temptations and their sinful consequences.
Today, as nosotros brainstorm Lent with its disciplines of prayer, fasting, and sharing, we are reminded that the true beauty of the Incarnation is that Jesus experienced the total assortment of human temptations and yet resisted their empty promises and fleeting rewards.
May we be strong in our religion this Lent!
Your brother in Christ
