FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

MARCH 6, 2022 PARISH OFFICE Hours: 9am - 4pm 5124 Gateway Dr. Tampa, FL 33615 Ph. 813.885.7861 | www.icctampa.org SCHOOL OFFICE 5111 Webb Rd. Tampa, FL 33615 Ph. 813.884.4502 Fax: 813.885.3734 | www.icstampa.org.org

I pray these lines find all doing well. All is fine at this end, same old, same old BUT – I like that, if fact I prefer it. As all of you are well aware we have entered the season of Lent Among other things I give up chocolate, I have to write this article so far in advance that I can tell you I’m still smiling cause the chocolate is a flowin!! By the time this article gets to you that chocolate is no longer around until Easter, at least for this pastor.

We hear today about Jesus being tempted in the desert. Jesus is God, when He became one of us in the flesh, He was and is also fully human. This being the case, we as humans cannot go 40 days without food, Jesus fasted. Fasting means that you do not eat when the sun is out. Sunset until sunrise you are able to eat. I have heard people rationalize “Well father, He was also God – that’s why He was able to eat nothing for 40 days.” But, think about it, if He used His divinity then where is the sacrifice in fasting, the same can be said of the crucifixion, if He used His divinity, how could we possibly relate to the suffering?

Jesus was tempted in the same way that we are yet never sinned. I pray for each of us that we have the inner strength during this time of Lent to look at our lives and strive to become the Catholics God calls us to. God Bless You! Love, Fr. Mike

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

MARCH 6, 2022

It can be easy to read today’s Gospel primarily as an account of Jesus saying “no.” No to the devil’s tempta ons of earthly comfort, no to idols of power and glory, and no to arrogantly manipula ng God’s will.

But this Gospel passage is as much about what Jesus is saying “yes” to as it is what he’s saying “no” to. Each denial of the devil is really a profound affirma on of Christ’s iden ty as the Son of God. Jesus rejects these tempta ons, not because things like bread or even ruling are bad, but because they’re being offered to him on the condi on that He turns away from God the Father. In fact, Jesus’s rela onship with the Father is the source of his resistance to the devil’s tempta ons. He isn’t “going it alone.” Instead, he’s relying upon the strength of the Father to carry him through. It’s rela onship, not isolated “willpower,” that is the source of His strength.

This is such an important lesson for us as we begin our Lenten season. Lenten disciplines are not about proving our “spiritual toughness.” They’re about abandoning ourselves more fully to the Father, so that we might not “live on bread alone.” One way we do this during Lent is through the prac ce of almsgiving—giving to the poor or to some other worthy cause.

One cause our parish is striving to support is the Catholic Ministry Appeal. At the beginning of this Lenten season, let’s embrace almsgiving as an opportunity to say “yes” to the Father and our rela onship with Him. Visit www.dosp.org/catholicministryappeal

Puede ser fácil leer el evangelio de hoy, principalmente, como un relato donde Jesús dice “no”. No a las tentaciones del diablo sobre la comodidad terrenal, no a los ídolos de poder y gloria y no a la manipulación arrogante de la voluntad de Dios.

Pero este pasaje del evangelio se trata tanto de aquello a lo que Jesús dice “sí” como de aquello a lo que dice “no”.

Cada negación del diablo es realmente una profunda afirmación de la iden dad de Cristo como Hijo de Dios.

Jesús rechaza estas tentaciones, no porque cosas como el pan o incluso gobernar sean malas, sino porque se le ofrecen con la condición de que se aleje de Dios Padre. De hecho, la relación de Jesús con el Padre es la fuente de su resistencia a las tentaciones del diablo. No está “haciendo las cosas solo”. Al contrario, está confiando en la fuerza del Padre para sobrellevar su carga. Es esa relación y no una “fuerza de voluntad” aislada, la fuente de su fuerza.

Esta es una lección muy importante para nosotros al comenzar nuestro empo de Cuaresma. Las disciplinas cuaresmales no se tratan de probar nuestra “fortaleza espiritual”. Se tratan de entregarnos más plenamente al Padre, para no tener que “vivir solo de pan”. Una forma en que hacemos esto durante la Cuaresma es a través de la prác ca de dar limosna: dar a los pobres o a alguna otra causa digna. Una causa que nuestra parroquia se esfuerza por apoyar es la Campaña para los Ministerios Católicos. Al comienzo de este empo de Cuaresma, acojamos el dar limosna como una oportunidad para decir “sí” al Padre y a nuestra relación con él. www.dosp.org/catholicministryappeal 4

EN EL DESIERTO El Espíritu guió a Jesús al desierto durante cuarenta días, y luego el diablo le puso tentaciones. Moisés y los israelitas habían estado en el desierto por cuarenta años antes de ser guiados a la tierra que mana leche y miel. Hubo momentos cuando invocaron a Dios, seguros de que, como san Pablo escribe a los romanos “todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor se salvará”. Algunas veces también nosotros pasamos tiempo en el desierto. Literalmente no es un desierto muchas de las veces, sino un desierto en el que parece difícil percibir la presencia de Dios, momentos en los que nos enfrentamos a la dificultad y somos tentados a dejar atrás los caminos de Dios. En este Primer Domingo de Cuaresma, Jesús nos muestra qué hacer en esos momentos: mantenernos firmes y confiar en Dios.
