We are very sorry for not posting anything last week for a very important reason. We are now on the First Sunday of Lent.
1. Walang Gloria in Excelsis Deo. Holy Thursday na ulit maririnig ang Gloria. Magfa-fasting tayo from the mirth of the angels when they sang Glory to God in the highest.
- Covenant and Promise:
The first reading from Genesis highlights God's covenant with Noah,
symbolizing a universal promise of salvation and a new beginning for
humanity and all creation. This theme of covenant is foundational,
reminding us of God's faithfulness and the enduring nature of His
promises.
- Salvation and Baptism:
The second reading from 1 Peter connects the story of Noah to the
sacrament of Baptism. It emphasizes Christ's suffering, death, and
resurrection as the ultimate act of reconciliation between humanity and
God. Baptism is presented not merely as a ritual cleansing but as a
profound commitment to live in accordance with God's will, empowered by
Christ's victory over death.
- Temptation and Victory: The Gospel from Mark describes
Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, reflecting the trials and temptations
that believers face. Jesus' victory over these temptations, supported by
angels and in the presence of wild beasts, symbolizes His divinity and human
strength, offering hope and encouragement for followers to overcome their
own temptations.
- Repentance and the Kingdom of God: Jesus' message after His time
in the wilderness focuses on the call to repentance and the urgent
announcement of the Kingdom of God. This theme is central to the Lenten
journey, urging believers to reflect, turn away from sin, and embrace the
Gospel message with renewed commitment.
- New Beginnings and Preparation: Lent is a season of
preparation, mirroring Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness. This time is an
invitation for personal and communal reflection, repentance, and
preparation for the celebration of Easter, symbolizing the new life and
hope that comes from Jesus' resurrection.
- Divine Protection and Support: The readings convey a sense of divine protection and support through God's promises, Christ's victory over temptation, and the guiding presence of angels. This reassurance is a source of strength and comfort for believers as they navigate their Lenten journey.

- Gospel: Mark 1:12-15: After a period of forty days in the wilderness, facing Satan's temptations among wild beasts and aided by angels, Jesus commenced his public ministry in Galilee.
