NEWSLETTER 09.03.25

07/03/2025 by John

“The devil catches most souls in a golden net.”

Lent begins with a reflection on the Temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. The Church assigns temptation stories to the beginning of Lent because temptations come to everybody, not only to Jesus, and we seem almost genetically programmed to yield to them.
The readings for the 1st Sunday in Lent Year C, invite us to reflect deeply on the themes of reliance on God and the choices we make in the face of temptation. They remind us that our journey of faith involves trials and temptations, but through trust in God, we can overcome them.

Fr. Peter.

This Friday is Lent Fast Day.

Next weekend a Second Collection will be taken for CAFOD.

“Walk with Me” – A journey of Prayer for Lent 2025 – booklets are in church porches. Cost £1
