On this first Sunday of Lent, we see Jesus being tempted by the devil in
the desert, and then we see him in prayer, while encouraging the people to
“repent and believe in the gospel.” This was the same message of John the
Baptist in Advent as it was last Wednesday on Ash Wednesday. May I suggest this
guideline to help you throughout your Lenten journey:
Repent - admit of
your weaknesses and ask for forgiveness.
Return - come back to church where you can find comfort and consolation.
Reorient yourself - make the adjustments you need.
Re-charge yourself - to feel a better Christian.
Resolve to change - ask God to help you make the changes you need for a
better life.
Rejoice - be happy with the person that is your NEW YOU.
Remember - the blessings you received, so that you don’t start taking God
for granted.
