FAITH BOOK

1st SUNDAY OF LENT -C- March 9, 2025

Deuteronomy 26:4-10; Psalm 91; Romans 10: 8-13; Luke 4: 1-13

By: Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus answered him,
“It is written, ‘One does not live on bread alone.’”

Reflection:

The tempter puts three choices before Jesus and three times Jesus responds quoting Scripture. The story joins the presence of the Spirit with the guiding words of Scripture. Is that how we can face temptation and stay true to our Christian identity, from the enlightenment and formation we receive through Scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

So, we ask ourselves:

• Have the Scriptures been a bread for me in my attempts to live a Christian life?

• Have I considered a disciplined and daily reading of Scripture this Lent?
