From Jan WADE IN THE WATER On the First Sunday of Lent, we oen focus on the dry desert of the Gospel reading. Yet today s first and second readings are dripping wet.

Perhaps this wetness at the beginning of the church s springde is meant to point us toward the primary image of these next fiy days: bapsm.

For these elect, that promise is like the bow in the clouds a sign that they will never know death again once they have been saved through water.

We bapzed are called to spend Lent being good examples for the elect. Through fasng, prayer, and charity, we will teach them how to live one s bapsmal promises.

2 From Jan WADE IN THE WATER On the First Sunday of Lent, we oen focus on the dry desert of the Gospel reading. Yet today s first and second readings are dripping wet. The first recalls the rainbow in the clouds signaling God s covenant with Noah and descendants; and the second reminds us how, like the eight persons on the ark, we were saved through water. Perhaps this wetness at the beginning of the church s springde is meant to point us toward the primary image of these next fiy days: bapsm. On this day, bishops throughout the world give the promise of Easter bapsm to those catechumens who are ready. For these elect, that promise is like the bow in the clouds a sign that they will never know death again once they have been saved through water. For them, the rest of Lent is the paent waing in the ark, a period of preparaon for that rebirth in the womb of the churchthe font. We bapzed are called to spend Lent being good examples for the elect. Through fasng, prayer, and charity, we will teach them how to live one s bapsmal promises.

February is American Heart Month, an ideal time to remind everyone to focus on ways of preventing heart disease. Chances are we all know someone affected by heart disease or a stroke. Approximately 2,300 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each day, an average of 1 death every 38 seconds. Healthy lifestyle choices can prevent or treat many forms of heart diseases. While we can t change things like our age and family history modest changes to our diet and daily actives can lower your risk as much as 80 percent.

GOSPEL MEDITATION 1st Sunday of Lent Why do we always go to the desert? We see this example in Scripture time and time again. The Israelites wandered in the desert.

Throughout Scripture, the desert is a place of testing. It's also a place of hiding and withdrawal.

" In Christian circles, we use the word to describe a spiritual weekend away. But its meaning comes from warfare, as we well know. To retreat means to draw back, to separate oneself from the ighting.

As we enter into this Lenten season, we are invited to retreat into the desert with Jesus. Attending a day or weekend of relection is a wonderful spiritual practice.

3 GOSPEL MEDITATION 1st Sunday of Lent Why do we always go to the desert? We see this example in Scripture time and time again. The Israelites wandered in the desert. King David and prophets were driven into the wilderness. And now Jesus is in the same place. Lent after Lent, we too are invited into a barren, desolate place. Why do we always go to the desert? Throughout Scripture, the desert is a place of testing. It's also a place of hiding and withdrawal. In the Old Testament, David led into the wilderness to hide from Saul, Elijah from Jezebel, and Jonah from God! In other words, the desert is a place of "retreat." In Christian circles, we use the word to describe a spiritual weekend away. But its meaning comes from warfare, as we well know. To retreat means to draw back, to separate oneself from the ighting. Of course, a military retreat brings its own kind of "battle" the internal assessment of why the ighting went so poorly. As we enter into this Lenten season, we are invited to retreat into the desert with Jesus. Attending a day or weekend of relection is a wonderful spiritual practice. This "desert spirituality," however, can ill all forty days. We can fulill our Lenten resolutions with a purpose writing daily notes to family and friends can inspire new gratitude, every time we pass up that speciic food item can be cause for intercession for deeper sufferings and privations of others. The Gospel tells us that "the Spirit drove him out into the desert." In other words, God wants us to be here. What feels uncomfortable is actually part of our spiritual journey. To be stretched, to be challenged, to confront our own areas of weakness these things are essential in our walk with God. This Lent, will you go to the desert?

What to give up In the spirit of Lenten sacriice, I am asked to consider the one thing I am going to give up, Turn over to the Lord.

This one is a real challenge, because it involves something I am very attached to...a bad habit, a possession or something that has to do with my eating or drinking...or smoking.

It may be games on my computer that eat up too much of my time. This giving up is hard to do, and this is where prayer and fasting are needed to enable and support me in this Lenten journey.

The widow who paid in the two mites was poorer than any human, but she outdid them all. St.

hosting stations of the cross for the entire parish. Parents, please help us out that evening by bringing soup to share afterward.

5 What to give up In the spirit of Lenten sacriice, I am asked to consider the one thing I am going to give up, Turn over to the Lord...something I really ought to give up because I m too attached to it, or because it stands in the way of my spiritual growth. This one is a real challenge, because it involves something I am very attached to...a bad habit, a possession or something that has to do with my eating or drinking...or smoking. It might be a grudge I've been carrying for a long time. Or I may have to give up my pride and apologize to someone. It may be a relationship that needs to be dealt with. It may be games on my computer that eat up too much of my time. This giving up is hard to do, and this is where prayer and fasting are needed to enable and support me in this Lenten journey. ~~~~~~~~~ Almsgiving above all else requires money, but even this shines with a brighter luster when the alms are given from our poverty. The widow who paid in the two mites was poorer than any human, but she outdid them all.
