February 22, 2015
1st Sunday of Lent
"And he remained in the desert for forty days." Lent is meant to
be like our journey into the desert. Just as Jesus spent these
days fighting with temptation and ultimately building up his
spiritual strength, we too are called to spend the next forty
days doing battle with the things that tempt us. We are invited
during this holy season to grow in self-discipline by giving
something up for Lent. The long-standing Christian practices of
prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are also important elements of
this spiritual battle. When we pray, we open ourselves to the
Holy Spirit, thereby squeezing out any spirit of selfishness or
evil that threatens to control our hearts. When we fast, we
exercise the virtue of temperance, or self-control. This virtue is
of tremendous value when we are tempted to indulge our
bodily senses in ways that are not healthy or holy. And
almsgiving--when it is truly generous--also strengthens us
spiritually by shifting our gaze to the needs of others, even to
the point of making a personal sacrifice.
Today's Gospel tells us that Jesus "was among wild beasts, and
the angels ministered to him." What a contrast! The brutal,
vicious, bloodthirsty beasts and the pristine, heavenly angels
were both there at the same time: each with radically different
intentions. And so it is with us. Our reality is also marked by the
contrast between the brutality and vice of sin and the grace
and goodness of faith. During Lent, we acknowledge the battle
between good and evil within our own souls and do what we
can to stir up a victory for goodness. This season of purification
can help each of us to become a better, holier, and therefore
happier person. May we make good use of this, our journey
into the desert.
Spring 40 Days for Life Prayer Campaign
LITTLE ROCK WILL NOT HOST A 40 DAYS
FOR LIFE THIS SPRING, BUT THE
NATIONAL EVENT NEEDS PRAYERS FOR
ITS SUCCESS.
Focus this spring in Little Rock will be on
renewed efforts to build up Christ’s
army of prayer warriors to keep vigil,
not just for 40 days at a time, but
throughout the year. The first campaign here in 2008 resulted in
a small group of people who asked “Why stop now?” Many
babies’ lives have been saved through the prayers offered on the
sidewalk at the abortion clinic, but more people and prayers are
needed. Dozens of lives are ended each week in our community;
is God asking you to join us? For just one hour a week? All lives
matter and the tragedy of abortion must end. For more
information call Marsha Boss 960-5051.

After being abandoned by her husband, a mother and her
children were living on the streets, struggling to make ends meet
and provide food for the family. She came to Catholic Charities
for assistance, not knowing where else to find food. The food
services she received stabilized her family’s situation and helped
her realize the job training resources available to help her get
back on track. “I wouldn’t have a full-time job if it weren’t for
Catholic Charities,” she said. “I am so grateful.”
