Wisdom Each year on the first Sunday of Lent we hear the Gospel story of the temptation of the Lord in the desert. The Gospel of Mark today consists of only four verses. After his baptism by John the Spirit leads Jesus to the wilderness. Mark says that Jesus survived the temptations and is ready to begin his ministry. The significance of the reference to John the Baptist’s arrest is that as John’s ministry concludes, Jesus’ begins. John Shea says that, “as difficult as it is, turning away by itself does not make the kingdom of God arrive. Turning away must be complemented by turning toward, by believing in the good news”
Cream Cards available in the Pew Pocket to follow along with the Mass.

The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

Reflections of the Week: Why are Sundays excluded from the reckoning of the forty days? What is one way you will act on the message of today’s gospel? After Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit drives “Jesus out into the desert.” Where do you find solitude and quiet to be with God?
