Living Our Faith
A few weeks ago we heard about Jesus’ baptism in the river Jordan. In today’s gospel, Luke gives us the next chapter of Jesus’ ministry. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus heads into the desert for solace and fasting. As he becomes hungry and physically weakened, the devil seizes the opportunity to tempt him. We know from the story that Jesus isn’t fooled by the devil’s attempts to get him to abuse his power for personal gain. Jesus sets a great example for us follow, especially as we enter into Lent. We can often be most tempted to do things for personal gain when we are in need. But that doesn’t mean we should give in. God, in his goodness, will always take care of us. Often times he simply asks us for patience and trust.

Viviendo Nuestra Fe
Hace unas semanas en el evangelio oímos del bautismo de Jesús Nuestro Señor en el río Jordán. En el evangelio de hoy, San Lucas nos relata el próximo capitulo en el ministerio de Jesús. Lleno del Espíritu Santo, Nuestro Señor se retira al desierto para orar y ayunar. Cuando el hambre y la debilidad le empiezan afectar es cuando el demonio aprovecha de la oportunidad para tentarlo, tratando de convencer a Jesús que use Su poder para ganancias personales. Sabemos que el diablo no logra engañar a Nuestro Señor. Jesús nos da un ejemplo excelente especialmente entrando a la Cuaresma. Cuando nos sentimos necesitados es cuando mas sentimos la tentación de hacer cosas que no debemos para nuestra propia ganancia. Pero aunque estemos necesitados no debemos caer en estas tentaciones. Dios, en Su bondad infinita, siempre nos cuidará. Muchas veces solo pide que tengamos paciencia y confianza.
