1st Sunday of Lent (C)

Short Reflection for the 1^st Sunday in Lent (C)

Readings: Deuteronomy 26,4-10;  Romans 10: 8-18; Luke 4:1-13

Selected Passage: "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone.”  "It is written: 'You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.'"  "It also says, 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.'" (Luke 4: verses 4, 8, and 12)

Reflection:  Each one is invited to reflect on Jesus’ three temptations and how Jesus responded to them as he began his public ministry. The first temptation is about  responding to the immediate material needs (Bread). The second temptation is about craving for power and domination (wealth). And the third temptation is about craving for prestige (power).  Do we easily succumb to these temptations of bread, wealth and power…? www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
