First Sunday of Lent



Luke 4:1-13

Recall the words of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer: “Lead us not into temptation.”  From the time we are born till the time we die, all of us will face all types of temptation. Let us learn from today’s Gospel from Luke that Jesus resisted temptation from the devil three times while praying and fasting in the desert. 

During this season of Lent, let us resist the temptations that may gain us the personal p’s: power, position and prestige! As a St. Francis College community of faith, let us pursue the common good by advocating causes that help the lowly and afflicted in our society while we exercise our own God-given talents and gifts. 

Peace and all goodness,
Father Brian Jordan, OFM
