JESUS AND THE DEVIL The devil tempted Jesus by quoting scripture, as today's Gospel reminds us. Try a self-serving miracle. Try selling out. Try dazzling the audience; people are gullible, after all.

The devil knows better, but is powerless to do better, much less be better. The devil is evil personified, who senses in Jesus the stronger, truly attractive presence of holiness.

3 JESUS AND THE DEVIL The devil tempted Jesus by quoting scripture, as today's Gospel reminds us. Try a self-serving miracle. Try selling out. Try dazzling the audience; people are gullible, after all. Try all these easy ways. The tempter tries to urge Jesus onto the slippery slope, attempts the old soft-soap, the snake-oil solutions that are always readily at hand. The devil knows better, but is powerless to do better, much less be better. The devil is evil personified, who senses in Jesus the stronger, truly attractive presence of holiness. Evil is exposed and engaged, we are reminded in this Sunday's Gospel. Evil knows the jig is up. The undoing of lies begins with Jesus, who takes up the work of soul-healing and world-healing. This Lent, the Church invites us to enter into this renewing, re-creative work and be made whole again. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today Lent begins. Ash Wednesday initiates the forty days of the Lenten fast, but since Sundays are not tallied in the days of fasting, today is the solemn opening of the forty days of Lent. The Church has work to do today, principally the calling forward of those chosen (the proper word is elected) for the Easter sacraments. Some of those who have been catechumens may now make a transition to a new way of life as the "elect." For them, this Lent will be a time of "purification" and "enlightenment." For us who accompany them, it is a time of helping them discern God's call and First Sunday of Lent prepare for new life. This year, while the readings from the third year of the Lectionary cycle are usually read, they are set aside on certain Sundays for the benefit of the elect. We turn then to the readings from Year A, and we give those who journey to the font of baptism three extraordinary companions. In the Gospels for those days, we meet the woman of Samaria and the man born blind, and we come to the tomb of Lazarus three days after his death. Many bishops celebrate the Rite of Election on or near today, affirming God's choice for these new faithful, and also offering them the solidarity of many companions. In 2013, over 38,000 adults entered the baptismal waters in the United States, a remarkable testimony to the vigor of our tradition of receiving and nurturing adult faith. TODAY'S READINGS First Reading -- Deuteronomy 26:4-10 Psalm -- Psalm 91 Second Reading -- Romans 10:8-13 Gospel -- Luke 4:1-13 MAKE A WISH When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. --Elizabeth Bowen SERVE THE POOR Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them as you would Christ himself. --St. Louise de Marillac READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Ps 19:8-10, 15; Mt 25:31-46 Tuesday Is 55:10-11; Ps 34:4-7, 16-19; Mt 6:7-15 Wednesday Jon 3:1-10; Ps 51:3-4, 12-13, 18-19; Lk 11:29-32 Thursday Est C:12, 14-16, 23-25; Ps 138:1-3, 7c-8; Mt 7:7-12 Friday Ez 18:21-28; Ps 130:1-8; Mt 5:20-26 Saturday: Dt 26:16-19; Ps 119:1-2, 4-5, 7-8; Mt 5:43-48 Sunday Gn 15:5-12, 17-18; Ps 27:1, 7-9, 13-14; Phil 3: :1 [3: :1]; Lk 9:28b-36 SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday First Sunday of Lent; Valentine's Day; World Marriage Day Monday Presidents' Day Wednesday The Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order Friday Abstinence Stations of the Cross At 6pm
