First Sunday Lent March 10, 2019
Take Each Day One at a Time
On this the First Sunday of Lent, we take advantage of our Time Machine to get an up-close,
personal look at what happened almost 2000 years ago. This experience will give us some
new insights into Lent. The control panel display shows 30 AD. We have landed at the edge
of a desert near the Jordan River. We see people clad in garments of the time. Our clothing
changes to match theirs.
We observe someone going into the desert. We recognize Him as the One who recently was
baptized by John in the River Jordan; we remember seeing the descending dove and hearing the Voice from the
cloud proclaiming, “This is my beloved Son!” This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, human and Divine. During
these next six weeks we will trace His footsteps in a very special way.
Our Ash Wednesday liturgy sets the tone for all of Lent. We are told to perform good deeds, to give alms, to pray
and to fast. Jesus also tells us to do all this privately, in secret, hidden from where people may see our deeds and
praise us for them. He says, “And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.”
In today’s Gospel, Luke 4:1-13, we hear what Jesus did following His baptism by John in the Jordan River. St.
Luke tells us, “Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert
for forty days.” We can take a cue from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and let the Holy Spirit, Whom we re-
ceived in our own Baptism, guide us as we enter into our Lenten journey.
Temptation has always been a part of our heritage. We can learn from Jesus as He dealt with temptation
in the desert. Jesus faced temptation not by giving in to the torments of the devil, rather He stood steadfast in His
trust and love of His Father. Jesus was facing temptation alone in the desert.
When we are tempted, our best path is to ask the Holy Spirit to give us the strength to overcome those
temptations. We can pray and meditate; we can give alms and repent; we can place our trust in God.
A three-day trip begins with one day; a week-long trip begins with one day. Our forty days journey
through Lent begins with one day. Take each day – one at a time – and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit make
it the best day that you can. Have faith, pray a little, hope a little, and love a lot. “For the greatest of these is
love.”

Worship & Liturgy
Our Lady of Guadalupe Rosary
“Listen. Put it into your heart … the
thing that frightened you, the thing that
afflicted you is nothing: Do not let it
disturb you …Am I not here, I who am
your mother? Are you not under my
shadow and protection? Am I not the
source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my
mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need
something more?” -Our Lady of Guadalupe, 1531
As a special dedication to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the
Rosary will be prayed every Sunday at 7:10 pm in the
Cry Room of the Church. Please join us in community
to pray the prayer Our Blessed Mother gave to us.

Enter into Lent in a deeper
way by following the stages
of Christ’s Journey towards
the Cross. We will be using
Cardinal Ratzinger’s 2005
meditations on the “Way of
the Cross” as a jumping-off
point to see how we can
incorporate the journey of
Jesus in a more profound way
in our own lives. Classes will
be lead by the Holy Family School of Faith and will be
held in the church following the 6:30 pm Mass at
approximately 7:00 pm on the following Tuesdays:
March 12, March 19, March 26, April 2, and April 9.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

Columbus the major relic of St.
Jean Vianney’s incorrupt heart

The Knights of Columbus
welcomes this special

veneration a major relic of the
patron of parish priests, whose
holiness and integrity is a
model for clergy and laity alike.
The pilgrimage will be in
Kansas City on March 17. The
relic will be displayed at the
noon Mass at Curé of Ars with
Archbishop Naumann
presiding. It will then travel to
St. Michael’s the Archangel
Church in Leawood for a public
veneration from 2:30 - 4:30 pm
