Holy Name Catholic Church San Antonio, Texas ______March 1, 2020
First Sunday of Lent
March 1, 2020 Reading I: Genesis 2:7-9, 3:1-7 Responsorial Psalm 51: 3-4,5-6,12-13,17 Reading II: Romans 5:12-19 or 5:12,17-19 Gospel: Matthew 4:1-11
Theme: “At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the
desert to be tempted by the devil” (Gospel). Like the rest of us Jesus is tempted, tested, and tried. Satan was successful with Adam and Eve. Using the same tactic, he tried it on Jesus. Food, honor, and pride usually work as baits on humans who clamor and desire such things of life to inflate ego and have a sense of security. On Jesus, Satan terribly failed! Jesus showed us the classic way how to battle Satan. The desert is a spiritual battleground of good and evil. In nature, desert is usually very cold during the night and very hot during the day. Water is scarce and anyone who goes through the desert must only carry basic essentials of the journey. Desert journey is always a journey of determination, strength, and faith. The knowledge of bare necessities, the reliance on instincts, and the sensitivity to what is safe and dangerous are important guarantee to live one more day. Every day of our life, we are exposed to the same temptations. Food as a staple and indispensable part of our sustenance and health can be mistaken as the most essential part of the journey. Jesus reminds us that it is not. When we use food to justify overworking, no time to pray, and even stealing, then it has become an instrument of evil. It is corrupted by the desire to take food as an end for itself. “One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God” (Gospel). When we are over sensitive and too much dramatic about anything, the ego becomes the center of the universe, easily offended and demanding apology all the time, it is their fault and not mine, then evil has corrupted the heart. Pride is the worst sin because it incapacitates the soul to love and be loved. In all, Jesus trusts God and points Satan to the One that deserves the glory, honor and love, God. “The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve” (Gospel). Jesus commands Satan to get away. Instead of Satan tempting us, we can also command him to get away. Let us pray: God the Father, protect us in our weakness. Jesus, be with us in our journey. Holy Spirit, inspire us in our love, Amen.
Tema: "En ese momento Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto para ser tentado por el diablo" (Evangelio).
Como el resto de nosotros, Jesús es tentado, probado y probado. Satanás tuvo éxito con Adán y Eva. Usando la misma táctica, lo probó con Jesús. La comida, el honor y el orgullo generalmente funcionan como cebos para los humanos que claman y desean que tales cosas de la vida inflen el ego y tengan una sensación de seguridad. ¡Sobre Jesús, Satanás falló terriblemente! Jesús nos mostró la forma clásica de luchar contra Satanás.
El desierto es un campo de batalla espiritual del bien y del mal. En la naturaleza, el desierto suele ser muy frío durante la noche y muy caluroso durante el día. El agua es escasa y cualquiera que atraviese el desierto solo debe llevar los elementos básicos básicos del viaje. El viaje al desierto siempre es un viaje de determinación, fuerza y fe. El conocimiento de las necesidades básicas, la dependencia de los instintos y la sensibilidad a lo que es seguro y peligroso son importantes garantías para vivir un día más.
Todos los días de nuestra vida, estamos expuestos a las mismas tentaciones. La comida como parte básica e indispensable de nuestro sustento y salud puede confundirse con la parte más esencial del viaje. Jesús nos recuerda que no es así. Cuando usamos la comida para justificar el exceso de trabajo, no hay tiempo para rezar e incluso robar, se ha convertido en un instrumento del mal. Está corrompido por el deseo de tomar la comida como un fin para sí mismo. "Uno no vive solo de pan, sino de cada palabra que sale de la boca de Dios" (Evangelio). Cuando somos demasiado sensibles y demasiado dramáticos acerca de algo, el ego se convierte en el centro del universo, se ofende fácilmente y exige disculpas todo el tiempo, es su culpa y no la mía, entonces el mal ha corrompido el corazón. El orgullo es el peor pecado porque incapacita al alma para amar y ser amado.
En total, Jesús confía en Dios y le recuerda a Satanás a Aquel que merece la gloria, el honor y el amor, Dios que lo gobierna todo. "Al Señor, tu Dios, adorarás ya él solo servirás" (Evangelio). Jesús le ordena a Satanás que se escape. En lugar de que Satanás nos tiente, también podemos ordenarle que se escape.
Oremos: Dios Padre, protégenos en nuestra debilidad. Jesús, quédate con nosotros en nuestro viaje. Espíritu Santo, inspíranos en nuestro amor, Amén.
Pastoral Reflection By Martha Jo Rodriguez, Pastoral Council Member
It's A New Day so rejoice, be glad and live out for our God in this new day.
It is no accident that Jesus winds up in the wilderness after his baptism. He was led by the Holy Spirit for a purpose, to be tempted by Satan. Throughout the scriptures, the wilderness represents a place of preparation, a place of waiting for God next move, a place of learning to trust God mercy. In the last verse of temptation the Devil departs and Jesus is serviced by Angels.
In our daily life how many times do we get tempted? Choose to trust him! Don't allow the pains of your past to hold you captive. Jesus shed his blood and chains for you. Today is a gift from God. Rejoice.
