Desert Time
Lent’s theme centers around the 40 days that Jesus spent in the
desert. It was a time for Jesus to discern who he was and what his
mission would be. We realize that Jesus being God really did not
have to do this, but Jesus being also a human being means he did.
It’s what we do as we grow up and ask the same questions: What’s
our purpose in life? So, this 40 day period can be revolving around
these questions if we are especially young, but even those at
middle-age and older may ask these questions especially those
entering their mid-life crisis, so to speak, or those who now seek
a new career or those who enter retirement in their life. You see
folks, these questions never really just go away. In fact, they get
more difficult the older we get.
So, this Lent is a great time to appreciate the desert because
in the desert we find ourselves and we discover new meaning to
God’s call. We begin to seek our change and see that it is good for
us. Should we be still dealing with guilt or anger in our lives, it
is a good time to tackle such hurdles and begin to do something
about them because guilt only wears us down and anger seems to stop
us from growing in new directions. The desert is perfect because it
forces us to listen to God’s voice. That’s what Jesus did. He
fought off those temptations of the Devil only to realize who he
was, who his Father was, and what he now needed to do regarding his
mission.
In order to do this, we need to go into the sometimes darkness
of our souls and ask: why am I feeling so guilt-ridden or I need to
ask where is my anger stemming from and how do I get over this
hurdle of my life? Once we are not afraid to go into the darkness,
Jesus and His Spirit enters in and allows us to discover these
answers. Then and only then can we be truly free of the burdens. We
begin to see life with new meaning and new purpose. We begin to
shed ourselves of our old self-centered attitude and begin to see
all the possibilities of our lives that can make a difference in
someone else’s life. Yes, all this can happen in our 40-day period
in the desert.
So, this Lent let’s make up our minds and open our hearts to
savoring the moments when we can shed off our old selves and bring
on the new. By Easter, we should be like new creatures in the Lord
ready to answer His call to a new venture and a new purpose of
life. It gets hot in that desert; so recognize we cannot do this
without God’s help. His Spirit will lead us into the direction he
wishes us to go. It is wonderful to know we are not alone in this
endeavor. As mentioned many times: do not be afraid because the
Lord is near and wishes us to enter this sacred moment to
experience true freedom in Him. Take some water for the journey! We
may not find an oasis to help our thirst.
A joyous beginning to Lent,Fr. Bob

ACT OF CONTRITION
Oh my God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing
to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom
I should love
above all things. I irmly intend, with your help, to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen

The Stewardship Prayer
My parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it
is.It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.It will do great
work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous
giver.It will bring others into its worship, if I invite and bring
them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and
faith, of compassion, charity, and mercy, if I, who make it what it
is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the
task of being all the things that I want my parish to be. Amen.
