RCL Reflection for the First Sunday in Lent, Year A, March 1, 2020
May this Lent be more than just giving up, adding on, or choosing small, palatable sufferings for 40 days. Do the work of spiritual spring cleaning, of letting go of ego, quests for power, and insecure greed that leads to self-absorption. Real life is about so very much more. Seek and you will surely find answers, hope, and God. (Photo: Vox Efx, Creative Commons)

The second test for Jesus concerns proving his identity. Wasn’t it enough that God had spoken at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan? Not for the adversary, who challenged Jesus for more. What is at stake for us today in our Christian identity? A lot, or not much at all? (Photo: Pablo.Ezekiel, Creative Commons)
