STRENGTH AGAINST TEMPTATION 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 story is set against the backdrop of the first reading from Genesis, which recounts 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 temptation 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. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Ps 19:8-10, 15; Mt 25:31-46 Tuesday: Is 55:10-11; Ps 34:4-7, 16-19; Mt 6:7-15 Wednesday: Jon 3:1-10; Ps 51:3-4, 12-13, 18- 19; Lk 11:29-32 Thursday: Est C:12, 14-16, 23-25; Ps 138:1 -3, 7c-8; Mt 7:7-12 Friday: Ez 18:21-28; Ps 130:1-8; Mt :20-26 Saturday: Dt 26:16-19; Ps 119:1-2, 4-5, 7-8; Mt 5:43-48 Sunday: Gn 12:1-4a; Ps 33:4-5, 18-20, 22; 2 Tm 1:8b-10; Mt 17:1-9 TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The man and the woman ate the fruit of the one tree that God had told them to avoid, and their shame overtook them (Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7). Psalm — Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned (Psalm 51). Second Reading — Death reigned from Adam to Moses, but now grace and life abound in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:12-19 [12, 17-19]). Gospel — Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit and there he fasted for forty days and forty nights (Matthew 4:1-11).

Incarnation Bible Study (English) We will begin a study of The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy which will start on Tuesday March 28th. This is a ten week program presented by Thomas Smith, a very inspiring speaker. This study group will meet in Classroom 2 on Tuesday evenings from 7 -9pm. Anyone interested is welcome. There is a workbook included and the cost is $23.95. In the Prophets you will: • Discover who the prophets were, what their message was, and why they are important to us. • See how God is calling you to a deeper relationship with Him. • Discover areas in your life that prevent you from drawing closer to Him. • Understand how the central message of the prophets is one of love, proclaiming the mercy of God for His children. • See how their powerful words speak to us today, shedding light on our faith and our lives. • Discover the ways you are called to be the voice of God to others. And much more! If you are interested in signing up for this study or need additional information, please call either Donna Burch (813) 541-8506 or Peggy Kelly (813) 767-9669.

Ways to Evangelize and Reclaim the Sense of the Sacred As Catholics, we are called to know and defend the Faith. We are also called to set a good example for others. The following suggestions are some personal acts of good examples: 1. Bow your head reverently at the name of Jesus. 2. Make the sign of the cross when passing a Catholic Church to recognize the physical presence of our Lord Jesus in every tabernacle. 3. Make the sign of the cross when a funeral procession passes by or when you hear an ambulance or fire truck siren. Next week, I will provide a few more suggestions.
Calling all teens
between the ages of 13-17. Please join us on Wednesday, March 1st, in St. John’s Room from 7:00pm-9:00pm for some fun and fellowship. If you have any questions, please call our Faith Formation Office.

Our Lent Project Our Lent Project this year is to support Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Nursing Home in Higuey, Dominican Republic. The nursing home is run by the Congregation of the Cardinal Sancha Charity. The nuns take care of 37 elderly residents who have been abandoned and are without family. The home provides shelter, clothing, food, medications and medical care. All this is possible through the generosity of concerned people. $75.00 covers the cost of 2 months of care for a resident. We ask that you prayerfully consider a donation. Mission Committee members will be at the front of the church after Mass to answer your questions.

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma FORTALEZA ANTE LA TENTACIÓN El primer domingo del tiempo de Cuaresma siempre incluye el relato evangélico de la tentación del Señor Jesús en el desierto por el diablo. Este año tiene como trasfondo la primera lectura de Génesis, en la que se narra la primera tentación del diablo que ocurre en el jardín del Edén. El relato del Evangelio transcurre en el desierto. Los creyentes sabemos que la tentación viene tanto en nuestros propios jardines como en los desiertos de nuestra vida. La Cuaresma comienza, y nuestra atención se dirige a esa tentación dentro de nosotros de hacernos como Dios – queremos control, poder y respuesta a todas las difíciles preguntas de la vida. A nuestras comunidades de fe se les ofrece este tiempo de arrepentimiento para que podamos unir nuestro corazón al de otros en el difícil camino de la conversión. Nos volvemos a Dios y hacia los demás buscando fortaleza ante la tentación. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Sal 19 (18):8-10, 15; Mt 25:31-46 Martes: Is 55:10-11; Sal 34 (33):4-7, 16-19; Mt 6:7-15 Miércoles: Jon 3:1-10; Sal 51 (50):3-4, 12-13, 18-19; Lc 11:29-32 Jueves: Est C:12, 14-16, 23-25; Sal 138 (137):1-3, 7c-8; Mt 7:7-12 Viernes: Ez 18:21-28; Sal 130 (129):1-8; Mt 5:20-26 Sábado: Dt 26:16-19; Sal 119 (118):1-2, 4-5, 7-8; Mt 5:43-48 Domingo: Gn 12:1-4a; Sal 33 (32):4-5, 18-20, 22; 2 Tim 1:8b-10; Mt 17:1-9 Lunes:
