1st Sunday of Lent
Life can easily spin us out of control. While there are so many wonderful opportunities before us, we can also get easily distracted and exhausted.
There is always something to do, respond to, or check. The clutter of our
lives can take us off course, and the best remedy for getting back on track is the experience of the desert. Here we can face our demons square on, resist
them, and get back on course. We desperately need the season of Lent. This
simple time of year forces us into greater awareness and grounds us in what
is good and true.
What weighs you down and keeps you trapped? Maybe you are trying to do too much and please too many people. It could be that your fragile self-
image is always pushing you to prove yourself and find success. Anxiety
and worry, ultimately due to a lack of faith, can quickly tempt you with
despair. It could be that you are listening to too many voices and allowing
all of the negativity that is present erode the genuine goodness in your heart
and in all of God’s creation. Or maybe you struggle too much with fear. Perhaps so much so that you are far too preoccupied with your own agenda
and goals and left with little psychological or spiritual room to consider and
respond to the plight of your neighbor. Do anger, bitterness, stubbornness, and hatred have homes in your heart? How about greed, gluttony, pride,
apathy, or lust?
For many, their passions and what can be found on the internet are their
downfall, and they are robbed of their inner life and freedom. What is it, specifically, that tempts you away from a childlike trust in God? Define this
and use the next few weeks to allow God to chart you a course away from
them. Silence, being alone, grace, honesty, struggle, tears, and dryness are all found in the desert. You will also find God and your true self in this holy
place. Ready to go?
1er Domingo de la Cuaresma
Hoy es el Primer Domingo de Cuaresma. Cuaresma significa cuarenta días y es el
tiempo donde se prepara la fiesta más importante del año, “La Pascua”. La Cuares-
ma nos recuerda el periodo de preparación para un verdadero encuentro con Dios.
La Cuaresma nos invita al arrepentimiento y a la conversión. Es un tiempo sagrado
para orar, dar limosna y ayunar. La Cuaresma dio inicio el 26 de febrero y termina
hasta el Jueves Santo, antes de la Misa de la Cena del Señor. La Oración colectiva
nos ayuda a ver con claridad el propósito de la Cuaresma: “Concédenos, Dios
todopoderoso, que, por las prácticas anuales del sacramento cuaresmal, progrese-
mos en el conocimiento del misterio de Cristo y traduzcamos su efecto en una
conducta irreprochable.”
Santos y perfectos, nos recomendaba el Señor Jesús el domingo pasado. ¿Lo re-
cuerdan? Pues, ahora es el tiempo de practicar constantemente el vencer a las
tentaciones que se presentan en el vivir cotidiano. La tentación es una gran oportu-nidad para vencer el mal y persistir siempre en hacer el bien. El desierto es el lugar
preferido de Jesús para fortalecerse en el Espíritu del Padre. ¿A qué desierto entra-
remos? ¿Qué descubriremos en él? ¿A quién encontraremos? Ahora es la oportuni-
dad de retirar el mal que hay en nuestra vida con las mismas palabras con que Jesús
al final de este Evangelio rechaza al demonio, “Aléjate, Satanás, porque dice la
escritura: Adorarás al Señor tu Dios, y a Él sólo servirás.” (Mateo 4:10). Con Jesús,
vayamos al desierto y preparémonos para las pruebas. ¡Señor que tu misericordia
nos acompañe en esta Cuaresma que comienza!
