Members of St. Ladislaus & St. Joseph Parishes
1st Sunday of Lent
It was just 2 months ago that we celebrated Christmas.
Remember back to that holiday season? Festive lights,
glorious decorations, glittering trees, colorful
poinsettias, family meals, joyous celebrations,
Christmas gifts. Somewhere in all of that mix, it was
likely that there was also a Christmas Nativity scene.
Maybe it was a family heirloom carefully set up in a
corner so that it wouldn't be disturbed. Or possibly your
family Nativity scene last Christmas was hand-drawn
artwork by one of your school children that was proudly
displayed on the refrigerator.
Wait a minute! Isn't this the First Sunday of Lent? Why
all the talk about Christmas? Because like Christmas
itself, the First Sunday of Lent always has a Gospel that
reminds us that Jesus is truly human! With all the
stories of the past few weeks (healings of Peter's
mother-in-law, a leper, a paralytic, and the casting out of
a demon) we could begin to think of Jesus only as some
kind of miracle-worker. To do that would remove Him
from a clear and concrete association with us. For
centuries, the church has clearly taught that Jesus is
completely and thoroughly human just as He is
completely and thoroughly divine.
Today's Gospel reminds us that Jesus was tempted, just
like we are tempted. He had the opportunity to give in to
Satan. Instead, He emerged from the desert to proclaim
a Gospel of repentance. We hear this story of Jesus'
humanity as we begin Lent to give us encouragement
for the next forty days. We often begin Lent with a lot of
enthusiasm. We are ready to change our lives. But
changing how we live is difficult, and temptations are
rampant. The Gospel tells us that angels came and
ministered to Jesus while He was being tempted. Start
Lent by asking a friend or a family member to be an
angel for you in the next forty days, to ask you
occasionally how your Lent is going. (Lit. Pub. Inc.)
