1st SUNDAY in LENT

drogaToday we celebrate the 1st Sunday in Lent. The Lenten Season is the time of preparation for the feast of Easter and our own resurrection and salvation.

When we take a serious look at ourselves, we realize that there are things that keep us from being the persons and the Christians as we wish we were. We feel that we are not free to be our true selves. At the beginning of his mission Jesus looked at himself and saw the temptations that would keep him from carrying out his mission.

Lent is for us the time to look into ourselves and to see what keeps us from being free to serve and love God and people the way we should. Let us go with Jesus into the desert, look into the depth of ourselves, and with Jesus reject what imprisons us, what keeps us lukewarm and indifferent, so that like him and with him we can serve.
