The First Sunday of Lent, from ‘Divine Intimacy’ by Father Gabriel ACA Progress The Great Combat On this day...the Church invites us to the great combat, the struggle against sin which will 100% 50,300 bring us to the Easter Resurrection. After forty days of rigorous fast, while He is feeling the pangs of hunger, Jesus is tempted by Satan to change stones into bread. No one can undertake a serious program of penance or mortification without feeling its discomforts; but that is the time to resist the insinuating voices which invite us to condescend to the demands of nature… Jesus was next tempted to pride. “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down...and in their hands the angels shall bear you up.” Such a miracle would have aroused the admira- tion and enthusiasm of the people, but Jesus knew that His Father had chosen an entirely different way for Him - the way of humiliations rather than of triumphs, the way of the Cross and of death. Because He had no desire to escape from this way, He resolutely re- jected the suggestion to pride. The best means of conquering temptations to pride and van- ity is to choose exactly what humiliates us and makes us appear little in the eyes of others. The devil returns to the attack and tempts Jesus to avarice: “All these will I give you, if falling down you will adore me.” But Jesus replies, “The Lord your God shall you adore and Him alone shall you serve.” He whose heart is anchored in God will never let it be drawn away from His service by an attraction for, or envy of, earthly things. But if this strong adherence to God is weakened or lost, the temptations to avarice will often succeed in making even those stray who have a special vocation to be “serving God alone.” As of Feb. 27, Goal Pledged % of Goal Paid Total Households % Participation 2020 (Pledged/Goal) Donors Holy Rosary $94,000 $97,672 103% $87,981 282 972 29.0% Holy Family $12,900 $17,185 133% $14,785 32 101 31.7% Resurrection $61,000 $65,655 108% $50,530 173 400 43.3% Big Sky Mission $15,900 $11,730 74% $9,110 32 43 74.4% Our Lady of Pines $12,100 $3,695 31% $2,295 10 19 52.6% St. John Vianney $50,300 $65,014 129% $60,076 95 306 31% Bozeman Deanery $246,600 $242,811 98% $206,338 611 1,841 33% Pope Francis’s Intention for the month of March: Birthdays this For evangelization - Catholics in China That the Church in China may persevere in its faithfulness to the March Gospel and grow in unity. 3.
