First Sunday of Lent ™ February 22, 2015
Lent is the time of year that we devote to scrutinizing our lives in the light of
our baptism into the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today’s readings are a
nice shorthand catechism of what our baptized lives mean. As Noah passed
through the waters of the flood to a covenant with God, so did we
enter into a covenant, a promised relationship with God through
our baptism.
The psalm reminds us that if we truly
keep the covenant, the way of life God
expects us to follow will not be a burden,
but a source of love and truth. Peter’s
letter gives one explanation of what our
baptism means: it is an appeal that we
make to God for a clear conscience. How
do we obtain this clear conscience? The
words that Jesus proclaims immediately
following his temptation show us the way:
“Repent and believe in the gospel.”
It might be a good spiritual exercise to
keep these readings before us throughout the entire
season of Lent, a means to help us return to a life lived in our
baptismal promises.
