PARISH NEWS CHURCH of the RESURRECTION Nr. 8 (3060) February 22, 2015 1st SUNDAY OF LENT - B On the first Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reading is about Jesus' temptation in the desert. This event in the life of Jesus is reported in each of the Synoptic G o s p e l s — M a t t h e w, Mark, and Luke—but not in John's Gospel. This year we read Mark's account of this event. Mark tells us that Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit and that for 40 days he was tempted by Satan. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke explain that Jesus fasted while in the desert, that Satan presented him with three temptations, and that Jesus refused each one, quoting Scripture. Only the Gospels of Matthew and Mark report that angels ministered to Jesus at the end of his time in the desert. In each of the Synoptic Gospels, the temptation of Jesus follows his baptism by John the Baptist. In Mark's Gospel, we are told that Jesus went into the desert immediately after his baptism, led by the Spirit. Jesus' public ministry in Galilee begins after his temptation in the desert. As Jesus announces it, the Kingdom of God is beginning; the time of the fulfillment of Calendar God's promises is here. 2015 The fact that Jesus spent 40 days in the desert is significant. This recalls the 40 years that the Israelites wandered in the desert February 27 - March 1 Lenten Retreat after being led from slavery in Egypt. The prophet Elijah also journeyed in the desert March 8 for 40 days and nights, making his way to "Kaziukas" Horeb, the mountain of God, where he was also attended to by an angel of the Lord. March13 - 24 Remembering the significance of these Fr. Julius Sasnauskas, ofm events, we also set aside 40 days for the visiting our Parish season of Lent. In Mark's Gospel, the desert marks April 5 beginning of Jesus' battle with Satan; the EASTER ultimate test will be in Jesus' final hours on April 12 the cross. In a similar way, our Lenten Memorial Mass observances are only a beginning, a for Jonas Govedas preparation for and a reinforcement of our ongoing struggle to resist the temptations we April 17 -18 face in our lives. During Lent, we are led by Rummage sale the Holy Spirit to remember the vows of Baptism in which we promised to reject sin May 3 and to follow Jesus. Just as Jesus was First communion ministered to by the angels, God also supports us in our struggle against sin and May 24 temptation. We succeed because Jesus PENTECOST SUNDAY conquered sin once and for all in his saving June 6 - 7 death on the cross.

LENT 2015 February 27 - March 1 Our Parish Lenten Retreat will be led by Fr. Kestutis Genys, Seminary Prefect and Permanent Deacons Education Centre Director of the Archdiocese of Kaunas. 10 easy Lenten practices for the faithful, Godfried Cardinal Danneels, Archbishop of Brussels 1. Pray. Each morning and evening say a prayer for example „Our Father“ or Hail Mary“. 2. Pick one sentence or one idea from each Sunday‘s Gospel and reflect on it all week. 3. Each time that you purchase something that is not absolutely essential – donate something to the poor. One needs to share out of their abundance. 4. Each day do a kindness or a good deed (without being asked). 5. When you hear unkind words spoken about you, resist the temptation to payback in kind. It is better to remain silent and to break the cycle of mockery. 6. If you have spent 15 minutes with the TV channel changer and have not found anything of value, turn off the TV and spend time with those you live with or read a good book. 7. During Lent, finish your meals with a slight feeling of hunger. Show solidarity with those starving in the world. 8. Remember that forgiveness is associated with a sincere desire to forgive. 9. You have promised someone a phone call or a visit? Do it now. 10. Be generous with your time and possessions. In memoriam Collections: February 15 - $2,998.40 May God reward you abundantly for your generosity. MONIKA POVILAITIS, 90 Was buried on Saturday, February 21.

All information - tributetoliberty.ca Pope Francis: trust in Lord, conversion of heart Pope Francis led a solemn procession on the Aventine Hill in Rome yesterday evening, from the Church of St. Anselm to the Basilica of St. Sabina, where he celebrated Mass and imposed ashes on the faithful at the start of the great penitential season of Lent. The Holy Father made his way from St Anselm to St. Sabina as the Benedictine and Dominican monks of the respective churches chanted the litany of the saints, then changed out of his cope and into his stole and chasuble, and began the celebration of the Holy Eucharist on Ash Wednesday: the beginning of the whole Church’s journey of penance and conversion that culminates in Easter. “We are limited creatures,” Pope Francis said in his homily, “sinners ever in need of repentance and conversion.” The Holy Father went on to say, “The call to conversion is then a push to return, as did the son of the parable, to the arms of God, tender and merciful Father, to trust Him and to entrust ourselves to Him.” The 40 days of Lent culminate in the Easter Triduum: Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, the Passion liturgy on Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil Mass, in the night between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, this year to take place the 1st week of April.
