First Sunday of Lent Gn 2:7-9; 3:1-7; Ps 51; Rom 5:12-19; Mt 4:1-11
Are you feeling as confused about things as I am? Not so long ago I was one of those people who felt I had an understanding of politics, the economy and international relations. But now it is not easy to know what is going on and the prevalent feeling of uncertainty is beginning to affect me too. That is why I am so relieved that it is Lent. This is a time when we can refocus our vision and concentrate on what really matters: not just on those issues that concern us in a selfish way, but the important things that enable us to be true disciples of Jesus.
