First Sunday of Lent

Here are the readings for the 1st Sunday in Lent, March 13, 2011:
Genesis 2: 7-9, 3:1-7
Psalm 51: 3-6, 12-13, 17
Romans 5: 12-19
Matthew 4: 1-11

As we begin the season of Lent preparing for the new life of Easter, we enter with Jesus into the desert, to confront our own temptations. What was his mission about? Would it be based on- focused on- power, wealth or fame?

At baptism and confirmation, you are anointed for Christian mission. This Lent, go into your own desert and decide what temptations make it hard to clarify or carry out your own God-given vocation.

There is no RCIA Session this Sunday.
The Rite of Sending and Call to Continuing Conversion will be celebrated at the 5:30pm Mass on Saturday evening. The Rite of Election will be at 3pm at St. Andrew's on Sunday afternoon.

Please remember to set your clocks AHEAD one hour before you go to bed Saturday night!
