March 13, 2011 - Christ The King Catholic Community
The Messenger Christ the King Catholic Community A Roman Catholic Parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas 4925 S. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas NV; 89118 www.ctklv.org ~ (702) 871-1904 ~ Fax: (702) 251-4935 March 13, 2011 First Sunday of Lent Dylan Berduo Snowden Hughes Jade Davila Chantal Davila Jessica Cabrejos Cynthia Munoz Liz Oceguera Mario Gonzalez Stephanie Guardado Jason Cabrejos Kenneth Real J P Downs Sara Caraveo Oscar Diaz Today we are confronted with two stories of temptation: Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden were tempted by the serpent to be like God. Jesus in the desert was tempted with immediate gratification, power and wealth. We too are tempted in many ways, by many things. When we give way to temptations they become the rocks and weeds in our lives that hinder our spiritual growth. By resisting temptation our gain is faithfulness to God. We are freed, like Jesus, to be persons led by the Spirit. What is the biggest temptation in my life at the moment? The Community in Action PARISH STAFF Pastor Rev. William J. M.

It was a great party: fabulous food, delightful drinks, marvelous music, exciting environment and a crazy crowd! (Notice the alliteration!). If you missed it, put it on your calendar for next year: Tuesday, February 21, 2012. If you cannot wait that long for a party, then plan to attend …… The Week Ahead MONDAY, March 14 8:30 am Devotion Holy Infant Jesus - Daily Chapel 2:00 pm Bereavement Group for Widows - Room 5 6:00 pm Capacitación de Liturgia - Room 1 6:00 pm Hispanic Music Rehearsal - Music Room 6:00 pm Holy Week Rehearsal - Church 7:00 pm Boy Scouts - Room 2 7:00 pm Readers Study - Room 3 7:00 pm Non Catholic Inquiry - Room 5 TUESDAY, March 15 8:45 am Centering Prayer - Daily Chapel 1:00 pm SNAP Food Program - Room 7 4:00 pm Elementary First Holy Communion - Community Ctr. 5:30 pm Explore!

(Recall that Jimmy grew up in Las Vegas and at Christ the King. I am his sponsor for Confirmation and have remained friends with him over all these years.) So, as I’m celebrating St. Paddy’s Day in southern California, probably with a Guinness(!), I’ll give a toast to all you back at CTK as you celebrate this great holiday: REMEMBER: there are only TWO types of people in the world — 1) those who are IRISH and 2) those who wish they were (and are GREEN with envy!). Of course, I’m in the first preferred group — THE IRISH! I hope that you took a ‘rock’ home with you this weekend. As Lent happens in the springtime — a time when many get rid of the rocks and weeds in their outdoor gardens, we are asked to get rid of the ‘rocks and weeds’ in our lives: those things that are obstacles to us on our spiritual journeys. Even in the Gospel for the First Sunday of Lent, Jesus was tempted by Satan to turn rocks/stones into bread. Put that ‘rock’ somewhere in your home where it will be a constant reminder of what changes you want to make during Lent. Lent is a time of change, conversion, growth and renewal. Have a great Lent.
