Marie White, #111 (CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED) Office Manager Mary Correia, #102 Question: Maria Esther Ramirez, #163 At times, temptation seems so powerful that it is almost impossible Dulcina Serda, #106 Parish Secretaries to resist. How can I be stronger in my resolve to avoid sin and tempta- Leticia Gomez, #110 tion? Receptionist Elvira Orozco, #189 Answer: Director of Religious Education The saints have written that every human person desires the good. In a sense, we Stacy Hughes, #107 don't desire sin itself. Temptation is powerful because there is at least some bit of good Diana Gamez, #121 Faith Formation Assistants in it. Even in the blackest of sin, there is something good that becomes twisted. We can Adult Education, #108 look for good in sin when we feel it is lacking in our own life. When we lack true rela- Remedios M. Barrera, #188 tional intimacy, it can be easy to turn to lust. When we lack confidence in God in our Hispanic Ministry Director own lives, it can be easy to judge others or to grasp for control over situations. When Baptism Ministry Coordinator we lack peace in the present moment, it can be easy to compete with others or to treat Leticia Villegas-Gomez, #128 others poorly in our quest for success. Youth Ministry Coordinator Overcoming temptation isn't just about repressing our sinful desires. If that's all we Laura V. Ramos, #103 do, they'll just burst out someplace else! If there is a recurring temptation in your life, Youth Ministry Assistant prayerfully consider why this is so appealing to you. Submit this to God and bring it to Martha Segura, #155 a wise person. And in the meantime, continue to resist temptation to sin. If we fail to Ministry of Caring Coordinator Mary Costa, #161 choose God in small choices, we're several steps down the road towards failing in larger Director of Liturgy ones.
