Dear Parishioners,�
In the Gospel, for this first Sun-
day of Lent, Jesus is led into the
wilderness. When God prepares
us for a mission we are o�en
tested. For St. Paul, a�er his
Bap"sm, spent 7 years in the
Arabian desert. Many people to-
day find themselves in a wilderness of loneliness, addic"ons, and des-
pera"on. It is the "me when God shapes us in the virtues of humility
and trust. We learn to depend on God and not upon ourselves. We
learn how easily we are tempted when tempta"ons come along and we
twist the word of God to fit our own selfish desires. The devil always
comes to us as a “friend”, but one that cannot be trusted. What he
offers is “fool’s gold”, � it is worth nothing but we think that it is real
gold, and we could find ourselves panning for it in the superficiali"es of
life. Lent calls us to go deeper, “for where our true treasure lies, there
our heart will be” Mt 6:21. Peace, Fr. David �

ammeragau’ Passion Play, Bra1slava, and the
