Deuteronomy 26: 4-10
Psalm 91: 1-2, 10-15
Romans 10: 8-13
Luke 4: 1-13
What's your story? Moses reminded the people how God was always with them by recounting their history, all the way back to Abraham.
What does your story say about you? Paul reminds the Romans of the power of God's word-- our story of faith seen in the light of the Mystery of God-- to make us who were are, to redeem us and help us live in right relationship with this God who doesn't keep secrets. Our stories are part of the story of Scripture, and the Word of God shapes, received in faith, shapes who we are and how we live.
How do you make sense of your story? Jesus and the devil have very different perspectives on what it means to be the Messiah, the Son of God. By what standards do you interpret your life story; how are you guided in making choices and plans?
We begin this season of Lent, intentionally connecting God's workings and stirrings in our own lives with the deep and timeless truth of Scripture. May our prayer this week echo the prayer of Psalm 91: “My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust.”
The combined Rite of Sending will be at the 5:30pm Mass this Saturday, and we will be going to the Rite of Election at 4pm at St Thomas More in Chapel Hill. Those who wish to carpool, please leave from St. Andrew's by 2:45pm. There is no catechetical session this Sunday.
