Dear Parishioners, The last person we would expect to make a grammatical error—or any kind of error for that matter—is God. Yet, there it is in today’s first reading from Genesis when God said to Noah, “This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come, of the covenant between me and you and every living creature with you...” There was a reason why God spoke that way about His covenant, His sacred promise of love with all living creatures. God saw Himself as the driving force, as
the One who initiated this covenant. God should go first because God loved us first. All of creation, along with the sending of His Son to live with us, was done without us even asking. It was all God’s initiative. How we respond to that love, how we tell God that He is our way, could be something to think about during Lent. In the Word, P.S. I’ll be away from Sunday, February 22, through Sunday, March 8. Many thanks to our visiting priests for their help.

I suspect that the real reason we avoid the desert is because in all that monotony there are no hiding places, no paths to crawl our way behind some kink of hill, no busyness that allows us to duck beneath the rippling surface of honesty, no phone calls to undo the silence that echoes our real selves. Curious that we should be afraid of the nothing rather than of the something. Yet it is the nothing, in the end, that makes the revelation happen. Such is the unsettling power of any desert, to reveal what we most fear in life, the real self that is perhaps less known and more imposing than anyone else's self. Deserts do that, and so we avoid them
like kids dancing about their homework. Over the years we learn that it's safer to fritter about on the fringe of Lent than to get lost in its vast and desert emptiness. We've grown good at frittering, at tinkering with days stripped of television or meals that have surrendered their dessert. This frittering goes on simply because when it's all over and done we are able to go back to the lives we've come to enjoy and treasure and nothing has been redone, least of all our real selves. Jesus, however, risked the desert. Never just a tinkerer, he dared to trek about the emptiness for forty days and nights. This week's first scripture is a piece from Noah's tale in the bobbing ark. Thus we might wonder which desert was more daunting, forty days and nights of Noah's deluge or of Jesus' drought. Yet both found themselves in new and different worlds, neither of which had ever before been mapped. Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis

“Don’t tempt me!” We usually make this cry when we are faced with something we want—but know we shouldn’t have. We generally think of temptation as a negative, but temptation also has a positive side because it offers us an opportunity to make a choice. In that choice, we decide who we really want to be and how we really want to live. When tempted in the desert, Jesus decides who he wants to be and how he wants to live. He
chooses to go to Galilee and proclaim the “Gospel of God.” Knowing “John had been arrested,” Jesus was aware that there would be deadly consequences for his own choice. Nevertheless, he resolutely went ahead with his saving mission. Life experiences teach us to appraise choices before we make decisions. The “Gospel of God” teaches us just how serious our choices are. They decide who we really want to be and how we really want to live. They decide our salvation.

Since September, seven people have been coming together on Sunday
mornings to learn more about our faith. As this year’s RCIA class, they will be brought into full communion with the Church on Holy Saturday. Please keep them in your prayers during this Lenten season. Their names are: Jay Lawrence (Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation); Al & Jasmine Garcia, James Conzen, Christina Maggiore, and Amy Santiago (First Eucharist and Confirmation); and David Colsen (Confirmation). They are an example to all of us that we should be seeking the Lord all our lives.

• Lent is the principal season of penance in the Church year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.
LENTEN REGULATIONS • Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain
from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. • Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is
bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. • On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full
meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.
• To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
