Stewardship
First Sunday of Lent
Weekend of March 4/5, 2017
At the beginning of this Lenten season we hear
proclaimed the story of Jesus’ temptation in the
desert. He responds to the first temptation by saying that one does not live by bread alone but on
every word that comes forth from the mouth of
God. The season of Lent invites us to consider
how we nourish our hearts, how we act as stewards of the Word of God entrusted to us. A good
reflection for the week: What do we live on? What
keeps us going? Could it be possessions, prestige,
the need to be in control, the need for security,
addictions? Or the fervent desire to listen to God’s
word?
Part-time / Seasonal Gardener Needed
