The Lectionary for Mass— First Sunday of Lent
First Reading: When the ancient Israelites talked about God, they recounted what God had done for them. They told about God’s call to their ancestor Abraham and of their deliverance from Egypt. Both signified God’s grace, power, and covenant faithfulness. The Israelites reminded themselves of God’s presence by giving offerings and regularly reciting God’s mighty deeds in history. The harvest ritual described in this passage bridges the border between the Hebrew’s experience in the wilderness and their experience as a settled people. The offering of the first fruits of the harvest links with a recitation about where they came from. Always remembering their former lives as slaves and wanderers, our ancestors celebrated the gift of a sustaining land in which to live. Like all celebrations of God’s saving activities, thanksgiving to God and generosity to others mark the ritual. Responsorial Psalm 91: It is easier to enter new territory or situations when we know God is with us. The psalmist intimately knows God’s saving presence. God is the one who saves, protects, and rescues. In this week’s Gospel, the devil quotes this psalm to Jesus during his time in the wilderness. He urges Jesus to test whether God truly protects him. Like the psalmist, however, Jesus knows a relationship with God is not about avoiding difficulty but about trusting God in the midst of difficulty. Second Reading: The early Church found itself entering unexpected territory. Some Jews and a large number of Gentiles were willing to follow Jesus as God’s Christ. If all of the early converts were Jews, it would have been simple to welcome them into the community. How to include gentile believers who were not first converts to Judaism was more difficult. By what basic standard of belief would they judge conversion? The early confessional statement, “Jesus is Lord,” was one essential. It meant giving allegiance to Jesus rather than to Caesar. It meant believing that God, who raised Jesus from death, continued to work in the lives of all believers. On that basis, Jews and gentiles could work together to create a new community in which race, nation, gender, and economic status mattered less than one’s confession of faith.
Gospel: The story of Jesus’ temptations in the wilderness is always told on this First Sunday of Lent. This year is Luke’s turn to tell the story. Luke’s temptation story follows Jesus’ baptism. Jesus goes in to the wilderness led by the Spirit, whom Jesus experienced so vividly in his baptism. Jesus experiences trails like those his ancestors faced in their forty years in the wilderness. They, too, struggled to remain faithful to God when faced with hunger, the gods of other nations, and risky situations. It is important to recognize the temptations as real options that Jesus could reasonably have accepted. The devil tempts Jesus with good things. It is good to eat when you are hungry. It is good to have the authority to bring about change. It is good to be protected from danger. Yet, for Jesus to accept these good things from the devil would mean giving up his allegiance to God and abusing God’s promise to care for him. Because he was grounded in Jewish faith and Scripture, Jesus had the resources to meet these temptations with integrity and confidence. Resource from SOURCEBOOK FOR SUNDAYS,
