TEMPTATION
Lent is a period of renewal and a time of reconciliation. During the period of Lent, the Holy
Mother the Church sets aside the most important themes for our reflection. Today the Church
invites us to reflect on temptation. The first reading tells us of the unfaithful man who lets himself
to be seduced by the devil and chooses to rebel against God’s will. This man destroys his own
self and condemns himself to a perpetual unhappiness.
The second reading describes the disobedience and the behavior of the first man, Adam, in contrast
with that of the second man, Jesus, who is the obedient Son of the Father. The Gospel describes
the temptations that Jesus had to face in his mission of salvation, and it wants us to reflect on our
own temptations which are not much different from that of Jesus.
Blessings!
TENTACIÓN
La Cuaresma es un período de renovación y un tiempo de reconciliación. Durante el período de
Cuaresma, la Santa Madre Iglesia deja de lado los temas más importantes para nuestra reflexión.
Hoy la Iglesia nos invita a reflexionar sobre la tentación. La primera lectura nos habla del hombre
infiel que se deja seducir por el diablo y elige rebelarse contra la voluntad de Dios. Este hombre
destruye su propio yo y se condena a sí mismo a una infelicidad perpetua.
La segunda lectura describe la desobediencia y el comportamiento del primer hombre, Adán, en
contraste con el del segundo hombre, Jesús, que es el Hijo obediente del Padre. El Evangelio
describe las tentaciones que Jesús tuvo que afrontar en su misión de salvación, y quiere que
reflexionemos sobre nuestras propias tentaciones que no son muy diferentes de las de Jesús.
¡Bendiciones!

people residing in the United States. This count affects the allocation of fund-ing for
our community’s public resources (e.g., roads, hospitals, schools), how we plan for
the future, and our voice in government. Learn more about the im-portance of the
