Reflection
Mass Cancellationsdelayed due to inclement weather, there will be no morning Mass.St. John’s website as well.
As we enter into this Lenten season of penance and self-denial, we're reminded that the God we follow is no stranger to these things. In this Sunday's Gospel, we see the temptations of Jesus which have parallels throughout Scripture and in our own lives. The apostle John warns against temptations to sensual lust, entice-ment of the eyes, and a pretentious life (cf. 1 John 2:16). Before Eve plucks the fruit from the tree, she hears it is good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom (cf. Genesis 3:6). The temptations of Jesus are our own. "Turn these stones to bread." Here is the lure of bodi-ly comfort, like good food or sensual lust. It's the sim-plest of temptations because it's instinctual. We want good for our bodies! But there may be times these bodi-ly goods don't serve the higher good for our souls. The leap "from the temple parapet" would entice the eye of the person watching. A feat like this would prove Je-sus' Messianic ability. His popularity could be a shortcut to the cross. We might not be daredevils, but we want people to like us and be impressed by us. Do we sacrifice our values along the way? To "bow and worship" the devil - and so claim power and a preten-tious life - seems like a dramatic temptation. Not every-one may feel enticed by power in the professional sense, but all of us want control. A volunteer team can feel just as intense as the boardroom! How often do we prefer to be in control of our lives (and perhaps even the lives of others), rather than allow God to be God? When we consider areas of temptation and sin, it's not to feel ashamed. The temptation in the desert re-minds us that we are not alone and that the strength of Jesus can be our strength, too.
“I have now brought you the first fruits of the products of the soil which you, O Lord, have given to me.” (DEUTERONOMY 26:10)
This line from the Old Testament offers two challenges. First, do you give to God from your “first fruits”, the best that you have to offer, or do you give from what is leftover? Second, do you recognize that everything you have has been given to you by God? Ask God for a grateful and generous heart, every day, in all circum-stances.

Are you grieving from an Abortion? Trust in the mer-cy of God’s love. Consider these words from St. John Paul II to those suffering because of abortion: “The church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and she does not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering de-cision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains ter-ribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope….The Father of mercies is ready to give you His forgiveness and His peace in the Sacra-ment of Reconciliation. You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child, who is now liv-ing in the Lord.” (Evangelium Vitae, no. 99). Call Pro-ject Rachel, the church’s post-abortion healing pro-gram, for a confidential referral to a priest who can help: 860-861-4439.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate noth-ing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
