† Deceased
The 1st Sunday of Lent Life can easily spin us out of control. While there are so many wonderful
opportunities before us, we can also get easily distracted and exhausted. There is
always something to do, respond to, or check. The clutter of our lives can take us off
course, and the best remedy for getting back on track is the experience of the desert.
Here we can face our demons square on, resist them, and get back on course. We
desperately need the season of Lent. This simple time of year forces us into greater
awareness and grounds us in what is good and true. What weighs you down and
keeps you trapped? Maybe you are trying to do too much and please too many
people. It could be that your fragile self-image is always pushing you to prove
yourself and find success. Anxiety and worry, ultimately due to a lack of faith, can
quickly tempt you with despair. It could be that you are listening to too many voices
and allowing all of the negativity that is present erode the genuine goodness in your
heart and in all of God’s creation. Or maybe you struggle too much with fear. Perhaps
so much so that you are far too preoccupied with your own agenda and goals and left
with little psychological or spiritual room to consider and respond to the plight of
your neighbor. Do anger, bitterness, stubbornness, and hatred have homes in your
heart? How about greed, gluttony, pride, apathy, or lust? For many, their passions and
what can be found on the internet are their downfall, and they are robbed of their
inner life and freedom. What is it, specifically, that tempts you away from a childlike
trust in God? Define this and use the next few weeks to allow God to chart you a
course away from them. Silence, being alone, grace, honesty, struggle, tears, and
dryness are all found in the desert. You will also find God and your true self in this
holy place. Ready to go?

CONFESSIONS
DURING LENT
LENTEN REGULATIONS:
1. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence in the United
States.
2. The obligation of abstinence (refraining from eating meat) begins at the age of 14. The law of fasting (limiting oneself to
one full meal and two lighter meals) obliges all between the ages of 18-59. No one should consider this obligation lightly.
Those individuals who have a medical condition in which fasting may be considered harmful are not obliged to fast but should
perform some other act of penance or charity.

Weekend Mass Celebrants
2nd Sunday of Lent
The first Sunday of the season of Lent
always includes a Gospel account of
the temptation of the Lord Jesus in the
desert by the devil. This year, the sto-
ry is set against the backdrop of the
first reading from Genesis, which re-
counts the very first temptation by the
devil. That story is set in a garden of delight. The Gospel
story is set in the desert. As believers, we know that tempta-
tion comes our way in our own gardens of delight as well as
the deserts of our lives. As Lent begins, our attention is
drawn to that temptation within each of us to become like
God—we want control, power, and answers to all of life’s
difficult questions. As communities of faith, we are given
this season of repentance so that we can join our hearts with
others on the difficult journey of conversion. We look to
God and to one another for strength against temptation.

OUR CHOIRS WILL ASSIST US AT
THE FOLLOWING MASSES
Catechesis of the
Good Shepherd
SAMPLER! A taste of RICH (Spiritual)
FOOD in SMALL BITES.
Does a child have the capacity to know God?
We may ask: “How does the child’s love for God help us to
know God better with all our heart, all our mind, and with our
entire self!”
What exactly is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd takes place in an atri-
um, a sacred, hands-on space in which both children and cate-
chists can hear, ponder, and celebrate the essential mysteries of
the Catholic faith as revealed in scripture and the liturgy.
Who should attend? Why attend?
This “sampler” covers basic biblical, theological and liturgi-
cal themes of the Catholic faith as well as the developmental and
religious characteristics of the 3-6 year old child. The 4 two hour
sessions are presented in a variety of formats: lectures, discus-
sion, prayer, and will be rich in Scripture, liturgy, and sacred
history. With visits and reflection in our Level I atrium.
All are WELCOME!
DATES: Tuesdays, March 10, 17, 31,
