Love and Chastity True Love for All of Us We all have a deep need for love – we want to be accepted for who we are, unconditionally. As baptized Christians, we are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. God, who is Love, wants us to live forever with Him in full and perfect love. Chastity is about how to love well as a man or as a woman. As human beings, we’re both body and soul, so chastity isn’t just about physical actions, it’s about how we love in every aspect of our lives. Everyone is called to live chastely whether they’re single, married, or religious. Chastity is not just about what we do, or don’t do, but also what we say, think, wear, watch listen to, and read. While practicing chastity does require saying “no” to some things, it is actually a much bigger “yes” to love and the life God has planned for us. Chastity is not about our past choices. It is about the present and the future. If we have made mistakes, we may need to learn from them and work through some consequences. However, regardless of whether we’ve made past mistakes, chastity can start today, and continue for the rest of our lives. See www.chastityproject.com to learn more, but remember the basics: commit to living and loving as we’re designed to do; seek the sacramental grace of Confession if a mistake is made (receive it regularly, regardless); after doing so, let the past go (God has forgiven you, so make sure you forgive yourself); and go forward, knowing that God is walking with you along this journey!

February 14, 2016 First Sunday in Lent Exegesis of the 1st reading, Dt 26:4–10 fidelity to God during their 40-year sojourn in the desert. As he nears the end of his days as leader, Moses has an Israel was rebellious, she readily compromised her commitments opportunity to speak to the people about what lies ahead for to YHWH, and she consistently put God to the test. Jesus them. He is concerned that, once they enter the promised does not fail in his fidelity to God while being tested by the land, their reliance on God may begin to fade. In an effort to devil. After each temptation, Jesus quotes Dt 8 and reaffirms make this less likely, Moses gives them very specific directives his deep sense of mission and commitment to God. Third, such as the one exhibited in this reading. the real temptation in all three attempts by the devil is to have Jesus prove his Messiah ship according to the traditional 1) Gifts . In the promised land, the people will enjoy an expectations that cannot adequately express who Jesus abundance of gifts from God, including rich harvests. Moses really is. Jesus refuses each time. describes how things should proceed when they offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving for such bounty. When they present a 2) J esus’ victory . The temptation scene presupposes that the basket of produce to the priest, he will place it before the devil somehow has rule over the kingdoms of the present altar of God. Then the worshipper is to rehearse before God age. How this happened is not disclosed. However, this the peak moments in the history of their relationship with situation puts the devil in a position to tempt Jesus with God. It begins with the wandering of the patriarchs, who left promises of power, and in some cases, power to do good. the land of Canaan because of their lack of total trust in The issue is always for the devil to convince Jesus of the God. They went down to Egypt which could provide for need to prove he is the Messiah. Many commentators think them many earthly resources, but could never nourish them that these three temptations represent the kind of challenges spiritually. They lived as aliens there and endured hardship. that confronted Jesus throughout his entire earthly ministry. But protected by God, they grew strong and numerous. The devil stresses Messianic recognition through extraordinary Eventually, they cried out to God for deliverance, and God signs of proof. Jesus stresses Messianic recognition through brought them out of Egypt. faithfulness to God’s plan.
2) Gratitude . This rehearsal of past events is not a history 3) Important detail . This Gospel passage ends with a very lesson but a reminder of how much they need God. They important detail that is often missed. “When the devil had must remember where they came from. Their past will give finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.” them every incentive to remain loyal to God in the future. If The devil will not reappear until the end of Jesus’ ministry. they remember these lessons from the past, they will always He will show up in the person of Judas. As Jesus and his enjoy the fruits of the promised land. disciples are preparing to celebrate the Passover, we are told, “Then Satan entered into Judas . . .” (Lk 22:3). The Exegesis of the 2nd reading, Rom 10:8–13 conspiracy against Jesus thus begins. However, in the time between the temptations of the devil and Judas’ conspiracy, 1) Mouth and heart . Paul's point is that faith is both a matter no one can harm Jesus. He is under the protection of the Holy Spirit proclaiming the good news of God. of inner assent and outward confession. Body and spirit both have a role to play in justification and salvation.
2) Jew and Greek . Both Jews and non-Jews are called to believe in Jesus. Paul finds backing for his statement in Jl 3:5 (see also Acts 2:21).
Exegesis of the Gospel, Lk 4:1–13 1) Three temptations . The story of Jesus being tempted by the devil makes several important theological points. First, Jesus is the Spirit-empowered Son of God.
