CLEAR CONSCIENCE
Usually, the first reading has something in common with the gospel. Today’s however, has more in common with the second reading from St. Peter. They both talk about Noah and the ark, where the few good people were saved by going through the water. Peter compares that to the waters of Baptism, in which we are saved by God. He also has an interesting image of Jesus “preaching to the spirits in prison.” It refers to the fallen angels whose disobedience lead the rest of the population to turn away from God. Just as God washed away the evil of the world in the waters of the flood, so the waters of Baptism made us into a new people who have clear consciences, both because God has forgiven our sins and because we promise to follow only Him.
That leads to the Gospel, where Jesus is tempted by Satan. But unlike the people of Noah’s time, Jesus does not fall to the temptations. Instead, he comes out of the desert, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is near. He tells us to repent and believe in the good news.
That means we have a choice to make: Do we accept this kingdom and repent, or do we ignore our baptism and do what we want? We may say that we are willing to repent, but do we do anything about it? Do we still have a clear conscience when we think of how much time we spend getting to know Jesus? Ever pray or read the bible outside of church? Do we spend near as much on the poor, as we do for movies, hobbies, video games, or drinks? Do we ever tell anyone about the kingdom and what Jesus has done for us?
Next time you see a rainbow, think about the covenant that God made with Noah. Just as God’s promises get better and better till the coming of Jesus, we are challenged to be more and more like Him. Are you satisfied with just a promise that God won’t destroy us all in a flood? Or are you ready to live the New Covenant that Jesus promises to those who will follow him? —Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRIMER DOMINGO DE CUARESMA :
18 DE FEBRERO DEL 2018
LLEVADOS POR EL DILUVIO AL DESIERTO
Las lecturas de hoy comienzan con la promesa de Dios a Noé después de la destrucción de todo por las caudalosas aguas del diluvio. Esa agua es trans-formada en el agua vivificante de nuestro bautismo. Esperamos, al comienzo de este Tiempo de Cuaresma, se nos recuerde que el diluvio nos ha despojado de todo, de estar en el desierto con nada y ser tentados. Lo que no podemos esperar que se nos recuerde de la abundancia y extravagancia del amor, bondad, compasión y guía de Dios. Después del diluvio, la tierra y todas sus criaturas fueron restauradas. Cuando Jesús termina su tiempo en el desierto, él es servido y restaurado a la vida con un nuevo entendi-miento de lo que es esencial. Jesús predica que este es el tiempo y el Reino de Dios está aquí. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
NO ESTAMOS SOLOS Empezamos la Cuaresma con fuertes contrastes entre la vida y la muerte, el bien y el mal, el agua y el desierto. La respuesta de Dios es igualmente fuerte. La alianza de Dios es con cada uno y con todo. Nada está fuera del alcance del amor de Dios. La alianza de Dios no tiene límites. Hoy empeza-mos nuestro camino de preparación,
pero no estamos solos. Sin embargo, elegimos usar este tiempo para prepáranos para la muerte y resurrección que están por venir, estamos acompañados por el mismo Espíritu que lo forzó a Noé a construir el Arca para preservar la vida en la Tierra. Estamos acompaña-dos por el mismo Espíritu que llevó a Jesús al desierto para enfrentar la tentación. Es ese Espíritu que hace posible nuestro camino por la Cuaresma. ¿Quién podría enfrentar solo ese diluvio de tentación? Nadie, ni siquiera Jesús, así como escucharemos durante la Semana Santa, enfrenta solo la muerte. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

NEWS FROM FAITH FORMATION
Our Lord's threefold call to pray, to fast and to give alms is richly
interconnected.
In prayer, the Holy Spirit, always active in our lives, shows us those areas where we are not free—areas that call for penance—as well as those people who are in need of our care.
1ST SUNDAY OF LENT
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert, and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan. Mark 1:12
Through fasting, our spirit becomes more open to hearing God's call, and we receive new energies for performing works of charity.
Almsgiving puts us in
contact with the needy whom we then bring back to God in prayer.
