Struggling With Temptation
Consider God’s holiness, mercy, omnipotence, omniscience, and especially divine goodness. We actually cannot imagine how great God truly is in Himself. Our minds cannot grasp anything infinite, especially God’s attributes.
All of these divine characteristics are embodied in the Incarnation: Jesus is the embodiment of divinity. The Church teaches that Jesus is at once fully God and fully human.
Now, consider the audacity of the devil to think he could actually get Jesus to succumb to his temptations. Didn’t Satan know? Wasn’t he aware that Jesus was God in the flesh?
The Seven Deadly sins can be remembered by the word PEAGLAS: Pride, Envy, Avarice, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, and Sloth. All seven stem from pride. Pride is the chief sin, the elevation of self above all else to the position rightly belonging to God.
Satan has an abundance of pride, and this may account for his foolish attempt to get Jesus to give in to temptation.
Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness, and His being tempted by Satan show us two things. It gives us a model of how to meet temptation, and it shows us how Jesus identifies with the human predicament.
Each time Satan tempts Jesus He responds by quoting Holy Scripture. Of course, Satan also quotes Scripture as he tries again to tempt Jesus, but apparently Satan doesn’t truly know God. Knowing Holy Scripture and truly knowing God are two ways of confronting temptation.
Jesus must have genuinely considered the offers made to him by Satan, otherwise he wasn’t truly tempted. Jesus knows how we struggle with temptation because He struggled with it Himself.
Satan did know Jesus to be kingly. We call Jesus the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Satan appeals to Jesus’ kingliness and offers Him the world’s kingdoms.
Satan comes to tempt us where we are. That is, he attacks our weaknesses. If you know you have a weakness, you can expect to be tempted there. Remember how in the Act of Contrition we say that we will avoid the near occasions of sin.
God will forgive us our sins, but He requires us to do two things. We must repent, and we must forgive others. We all know in our heart of hearts if we are truly repentant, if we are truly making every possible effort to avoid the near occasions of sin. Of course we will not achieve moral perfection in this life, but we know in ourselves if we’re resisting temptation of if we’re giving in.
Jesus knows what it is to be tempted. Believe and trust in Him, and follow His example. Amen.

Luchando con la tentación Reflexionemos en la santidad de Dios, en su misericordia, omnipotencia, omnisciencia y especialmente en su bondad divina. En realidad, no podemos realmente imaginar cuán grande es Dios en Sí mismo. Nuestras mentes no pueden captar nada infinito, especialmente los atributos de Dios.
Todas estas características divinas están personificadas en la Encarnación: Jesús es la encarnación de la divinidad. La Iglesia enseña que Jesús es a la vez completamente Dios y completamente humano.
Ahora, considere la audacia del diablo para pensar que realmente podría conseguir que Jesús sucumbiera a sus tentaciones. ¿Satanás no lo sabía? ¿No estaba consciente de que Jesús era Dios en la carne?
Los siete pecados capitales pueden recordarse con la palabra PEGASIL: pereza, envidia, gula, avaricia, soberbia, ira y lujuria. Los siete provienen del orgullo. El orgullo es el pecado principal, la elevación del yo por encima de todo a la posición que pertenece a Dios.
Satanás es orgulloso, y esto puede explicar su tonto intento de lograr que Jesús ceda a la tentación.
Los 40 días de Jesús en el desierto, y el ser tentado por Satanás nos muestran dos cosas. Nos da un modelo de cómo enfrentar la tentación, y nos muestra cómo Jesús se identifica con la situación humana.
Cada vez que Satanás tienta a Jesús, Él responde citando las Sagradas Escrituras. Por supuesto, Satanás también cita las Escrituras cuando intenta nuevamente tentar a Jesús, pero aparentemente Satanás no conoce verdaderamente a Dios. Conocer las Sagradas Escrituras y conocer verdaderamente a Dios son dos formas de enfrentar la tentación.
Jesús debe haber considerado las pruebas que le hizo Satanás, de lo contrario, no hubiera sido verdaderamente tentado. Jesús sabe cómo luchamos con la tentación porque Él luchó con ella.
Satanás sí sabía que Jesús era Rey. Llamamos a Jesús el Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores. Satanás apela a la realeza de Jesús y le ofrece los reinos del mundo.
Satanás viene a tentarnos donde estamos. Es decir, él ataca nuestras debilidades. Si usted sabe que tiene una debilidad, puede esperar ser tentado en ella. Recuerde cómo en el Acto de Contrición decimos que evitaremos las ocasiones de pecado.
Dios nos perdonará nuestros pecados, pero nos exige que hagamos dos cosas. Debemos arrepentirnos y debemos perdonar a los demás. Todos sabemos en el fondo de nuestros corazones si realmente estamos arrepentidos, si realmente estamos haciendo todos los esfuerzos posibles para evitar las ocasiones de pecar. Por supuesto que no lograremos la perfección moral en esta vida, pero nosotros sabemos si nos resistimos a la tentación o si nos damos.
Jesús sabe lo que es ser tentado. Crea, confíe en Él, y siga su ejemplo. Amén. ¡Bendiciones!¡Bendiciones!¡Bendiciones!¡Bendiciones! En JesúsEn JesúsEn JesúsEn Jesús Padre DavidPadre DavidPadre DavidPadre David

The Daughters of Notre Dame are currently accepting Easter Memorial’s. A special Memorial Mass will be said on Sunday, April 8, 2018 at the 7:45 a.m. Mass; names will be published in the weekly bulletin. Envelopes for donations are located in the back of the church in the narthex. Donations may be placed in the collection basket or dropped off at the Pastoral Center. Deadline for intentions is Sunday, April 1, 2018.
Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer.
The lines for the opportunity to see a rock star are indelibly long. The Star of all Stars, Jesus, humbles Himself to share a personal one on one hour, and only a few “wise virgins” fill up their lamps with this wondrous love freely given by Christ. How will He be able to recognize us at the end of our earthly exile if we become as the “foolish virgins’ who are too busy to show love and adoration for this awesome gift that is our Mighty Lord Jesus?
This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from.
An adorer is needed for:
Wednesday 7:00 a.m.—8:00 a.m. Saturday 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.
Saturday 2:00 a.m.—3:00 a.m.
If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117.
El Papa Francisco llama a la iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la misión por medio de la oración.
Las colas para tener la oportunidad de ver a una estrella del rock están increíblemente largas. La Estrella de todas las Estrellas, Jesús, se humilla para compartir una hora de tiempo personal, y sólo unas cuantas “virgenes sabias” llenan sus lámparas con el amor maravilloso regalado por Cristo. Cómo podrá reconocernos al final de nuestra exilio terrestre si nos convertimos en “virgenes tontas” que están demasiado ocupadas para demastrar nuestro amor y adoración para este impresionante don que es nuestro Poderoso Señor Jesús.
Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no se repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildísima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en sólo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger.
Tambíen es necesario un adorador los:
miercoles 7:00 a.m.—8:00 a.m. sabado 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.
sabado 2:00 a.m.—3:00 a.m.
Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

Forty Cans for Lent St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry
Lent is upon us, and fasting, prayer and almsgiving are a very important part of this season of the Church. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is always in need of foods to distribute to the needy in our community. This is a wonderful way for all of us to participate in almsgiving and assist our neighbors. Here are some suggestions:
Beans/Dry & canned Pasta/Dry & canned Canned vegetables Rice/All types Soup/Dry & canned Canned meats
While the Pantry usually has a good supply of canned corn and green beans, more is always appreciated.
One item of food each day of LentSA small sacrifice with a huge yield!
Collection boxes will be located in the Narthex during the Lenten season.

e NotreA former youth minister and teacher at Notre Dame school has donated a big box of books from her student days to the library. Marion Worthington reviewed one of them, A Short Primer for Unsettled Laymen, by Hans Urs von Balthasar,
translated by Michael Waldstein. “All true Catholic Christians suffer today from the confusion within their Church.” The first sentence of the first chapter of the book is only slightly less true than when it was written in 1980. This small book, 134 scant pages, is not an easy read. Yet there are so many problems of meaning and interpretation which are addressed in a clear way that time and close study are more than rewarded. Maybe no-one can now disagree with the premise that “we have gone astray”. The same regret that St. Paul expressed in never achieving the good he intended is part of our everyday experience in examination of conscience. Why have we not yet built the city of God here and now? The author suggests “because nature has been turned into mere material for technology”. While this is certainly evident in our polluted landscapes, there is also a prevalent failure of acceptance, empathy or concern for our fellow creatures. I include Homo sapiens with other carbon-based life forms. Balthasar also discusses “Mary – Church - Office” with sympathy and insight. This provides good lessons in our present societal upheavals which are often polarizing rather than connecting and healing. This translation is a gift also; careful juxtaposition of the English words “cheering, not sheering” are a delight referring to the treatment of priests by the laity while pointing out that neither is entirely appropriate. This is a book to be “read, marked, learned and inwardly digested.”
