STRENGTH AGAINST TEMPTATION
The first Sunday of the season of Lent always includes a Gospel account of the temp-tation of the Lord Jesus in the desert by the dev-
il. This year, the story is set against the back-drop of the first reading from Genesis, which
recounts the very first temptation by the devil. That story is set in a garden of delight. The Gos-
pel story is set in the desert. As believers, we know that temptation comes our way in our
own gardens of delight as well as the deserts of our lives. As Lent begins, our attention is drawn to that temptation within each of us to become like God—we want control, power, and answers to all of life’s difficult questions. As communities of faith, we are given this season of repentance so that we can join our hearts with others on the difficult journey of conversion. We look to God
and to one another for strength against tempta-tion. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
FORTALEZA ANTE LA TENTACIÓN El primer domingo del tiempo de
Cuaresma siempre incluye el relato evan-gélico de la tentación del Señor Jesús en el desierto por el diablo. Este año tiene como trasfondo la primera lectura de Génesis, en
la que se narra la primera tentación del diablo que ocurre en un jardín de delicias. El relato del Evangelio transcurre en el de-sierto. Los creyentes sabemos que la tenta-ción viene tanto en nuestros propios jardi-nes de delicias como en los desiertos de nuestra vida. La Cuaresma comienza, y
nuestra atención se dirige a esa tentación dentro de nosotros de hacernos como Dios
–queremos control, poder y respuesta a todas las difíciles preguntas de la vida. A nuestras comunidades de fe se les ofrece este tiempo de arrepentimiento para que podamos unir nuestro corazón al de otros en el difícil camino de la conversión. Nos volvemos a Dios y hacia los demás bus-
cando fortaleza ante la tentación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SANTA CATALINA DREXEL (1858-1955) 3 de marzo
Nació en Filadelfia, en el seno de una familia muy rica. Debido a la muerte inesperada de su madre, su
padre contrajo nupcias por segunda vez. De ambos aprendió a orar y a cuidar de los pobres y su mismo hogar se abrió para ellos. Puesto que era muy rica tuvo la opor-
tunidad de viajar a los Estados Unidos y este viaje le transformó para siempre, pues pudo presenciar la dis-criminación y sufrimiento a que eran sometidos los af-
roamericanos y nativos americanos. Años después, renun-ció a una fortuna de 14 millones de dólares (250 millones actualmente) y se unió a las Hermanas de la Misericordia. Posteriormente fundó la Congregación de las Hermanas del Santísimo Sacramento, añadiendo a los votos religi-osos uno muy especial: el cuidado y educación de af-
roamericanos y nativos americanos. Al momento de su muerte se habían construido 50 misiones en 16 estados, un
sistema de escuelas para afroamericanos, 40 centros misioneros y 23 escuelas rurales. Gracias a ella se con-struyó la Universidad Xavier, en Nuevo Orleáns, la pri-
mera dedicada a la educación profesional de afroamericanos.

SAINT KATHARINE DREXEL (1858-1955) Born into Philadelphia society, Katharine was an infant when she lost her mother. Her father remarried and the couple taught their daughters that their wealth was a “gift on loan” to be shared with the poor, whom they fed and cared for in their home. Invited by priest friends to witness firsthand the destitution on Native
American reservations, Katharine resolved to devote her inheritance to this apostolate and enter a contemplative order. When, however, in private audience, she begged
Leo XIII to send missionaries to staff the schools she was building, the pope replied, “My child, why not become a
missionary yourself?” Katharine renounced a twenty-million-dollar fortune and founded the Sisters of the
Blessed Sacrament, adoring Christ present in the Eucha-rist and ministering to Christ suffering in victims of racial discrimination. Her Sisters established over sixty schools nationwide, including Xavier University, New Orleans, the first dedicated to professional education for African Americans. In 2000, John Paul II canonized “Mother Drexel,” praising her “excellent example of practical
charity and generous solidarity with the less fortunate, long the distinguishing mark of American Catholics.”

The 40 CANS FOR LENT
Let’s restock our St. Vincent de Paul food pan-try. We ask all families to bring 40 cans/boxes of food stables to the Church and place them in the drawers or on the window counter top lo-cated next to the upstairs rest rooms. The 40 CANS FOR LENT campaign begins Sunday, March 1st and ends Easter Sun-day. Last year your kindness generated over 2200 cans/boxes of food that served many families in need. May God bless all St. Michael parish-ioners and thank you for your love of others.

¿ES LA NFP EFICAZ? Varios estudios han demostrado que la eficacia para evitar o espaciar embarazos de la Planificación Familiar Natural es del 97-98 por ciento. La misma tasa de efectividad de la píldora y otros anticonceptivos similares, excepto que sin efectos secundarios, sin pastillas o prescripciones… sólo con la libertad de conocer nuestro propio cuerpo y el poder de tomar decisiones sólidas basadas en ese conocimiento y sacrificio. La NFP le ofrece a las parejas la posibilidad de conocer sus cuerpos y elegir si desean buscar el embarazo durante el período fértil de la mujer o evitarlo evadiendo este período. La NFP es sencilla, segura, saludable y eficaz… ¡el secreto científico mejor guardado de salud femenina!
