Today’s Reflection
First Sunday of Lent March 5, 2017
Today’s Gospel MT 4:1-11
The Temptation of Jesus.
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1–2, NIV
Lord, our God and Father, we
thank you for letting us walk in
the way of Jesus Christ, for
helping us on the way to the
Cross. Come what may, we
belong to the Savior, and we are
your children. We want to be
joyful and full of faith, full of
hope, full of patience, for your
mercy leads us on. In all we
experience how often we can
say, “Thanks be to God. He
has helped us here, he has
helped there, he helps every day
in spite of all the evil in the
world. Praise and thanks and
honor be to him forever!”
Amen.

WHAT VICTORY DO
YOU NEED THIS LENT?
H ow do you deal with
temptation? That's the
personal challenge given to
us by the Word of God on
the first Sunday of Lent. And
so we begin our journey with
Jesus, traveling to the holiest
place we can reach at this
point in our lives.
This Lent is like no other
Lent. Last year, you had
different needs, different
areas of growth, different
levels of insight and
understanding. Much has
happened since then, and all
of it is a preparation for what
the Lord is going to do in
your life right now.
What victory do you need
this year? What needs to be
resurrected? To get there,
Jesus will lead you through
the cross of penance and self
-denial, into his tomb, and
out into God's light where his
love provides healing and
new life.
During Lent -- and every
time we make sacrifices and
connect our sufferings to the
Passion of Christ -- we
follow Jesus to the cross and
to resurrection. This involves
seeing our own crosses in a
new light, for the Calvary
Road is the only way to
(Continued on page 2)
Our Mission:
The Santo Niño Catholic Church is a faith community where all are welcome to celebrate Catholic beliefs embellished by the best Philippine traditions. It is a dynamic parish responding to the spiritual needs of the community to fulfill its evangelical mission and to realize Christ’s call of making disciples of all nations. (Parish Pastoral Council, 21 April 2001)
Prayer Corner
A t that time Jesus
was led by the
Spirit into the desert to be
tempted by the devil. He
fasted for forty days and
forty nights, and
afterwards he was
hungry. The tempter
approached and said to
him, "If you are the Son of
God, command that these
stones become loaves of
bread." He said in reply,
"It is written: One does
not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth
from the mouth of God."
Then the devil took him to the holy city, and made him
stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, "If you
are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written:
He will command his angels concerning you and with their
hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against
a stone." Jesus answered him, "Again it is written, You shall
not put the Lord, your God, to the test." Then the devil took
him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, and he said to
him, "All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate
yourself and worship me." At this, Jesus said to him, "Get
away, Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you
worship and him alone shall you serve."
Then the devil left him and, behold, angels came and
ministered to him.

reach the victories that we
yearn to experience.
If we want Easter to be more
than just a holiday of colored
eggs, chocolate bunnies and
big dinners, we have to make
Lent more than just 40 days
of enduring an annoying,
obligatory sacrifice, eating
meatless pizza on Fridays,
and going to an occasional
extra event at church.
If we want to experience the
power of resurrection, we
have to experience the power
of mourning and repenting
from our sins. In other
words, we have to
experience the
powerlessness of death -- the
death of our selfishness, the
death of our worldliness, the
death of our behaviors that
are not like Christ's.
Questions for Personal
Reflection:
What can you do this week
to die to self? For example,
think of a good deed you can
do that's the opposite of what
your selfishness wants you
to do. How will this spiritual
exercise make it easier to
resist sin?
Questions for Community
Faith Sharing:
1. In the story from Genesis,
what did Adam and Eve
need to die to (let go of, put
aside, or reject) in order to
resist the Original Sin? Why
didn't they?
2. In the reading from
Romans, we hear about the
abundant grace and the gift
of justification that Jesus
provided to each of us when

he died on the cross. How
does this grace and
justification give us life? In
other words, how does God
help us to resist sin?
3. Looking at the Gospel
passage, what did Jesus have
to die to in the desert so that
he could say no to
temptation?
