First Sunday of Lent

                  In A Prayer Journal, Flannery O'Connor writes, 'God is feeding me and what I'm praying for is an appetite.' I really like that, and I highly recommend A Prayer Journalas a good Lenten read. Not only do you glean the prayer life of a great Catholic writer, but you do so in only 112 pages. Sign me up! Yet the quip speaks well to our new season. Lent begins as our days start to lengthen and today's readings reveal Jesus' triumph where Adam and Eve failed. Adam and Eve were tempted to think God was keeping something from them. Satan takes the same goading approach with Jesus: 'If you are the Son of God.....'. But Jesus doesn't take the bait. He knows the Father provides.  As we enter the desert of Lent, let us remember that God is feeding us, and we live not on bread alone. May our Lenten discipline work up in us a voracious appetite for the One Who tells His children, 'everything I have is yours.' Happy Lent.

God Bless you!!!!
