Temptation is a reality. It was, is and will always be
there. Jesus, the Son of God, filled with the Holy Spirit,
returned from the Jordan and was led by the Holy
Spirit into the desert for forty days, known as our
Lenten season, to be tempted by the devil. The devil
tempted Jesus three times. First, the stone to turn into
bread. Second, worshiping the devil for seeming glory
and power. Third, throwing Himself and the angels
will come to His rescue. But with the powerful words
of Jesus, He fearlessly told the devil: “You shall not put
the Lord, your God, to the test.” And the devil
departed from him for a time.
Even the Son of God was tempted many times in the
Gospels. As mentioned above, temptations will always
be there. The devil, in our Gospel this Sunday,
departed from Him for a time. And so, as we are in this
holy season of Lent strengthening our faith through
prayers and fasting, we should be aware of the
presence of the devil. We should be aware that we are
also tempted anytime in the ordinariness of our life.
As the whole world celebrate Valentine’s Day this
Sunday, let us gird ourselves with the Love of God and
His abundant graces through the reception of the
Sacraments of the Eucharist and Confessions as well as
our fervent and unceasing prayers.
Please join me to welcome Ofelia Balmes as our Music

Esquina del Padre Martín
La tentacion es una realidad. Siempre estuvo, esta y
estara allí. Jesus, el hijo de Dios, llenado del Espíritu
Santo, regreso del Jordan y fue conducido por el
Espíritu Santo en el desierto por cuarenta días, tiempo
conocido como la Cuaresma, donde fue tentado por el
diablo. El diablo tento a Jesus tres veces. En primer
lugar, la piedra convertida en pan. En segundo lugar,
adorando al diablo para adquirir gloria y poder. Y en
tercer lugar, empujandole al precipicio para que los
angeles vengan a su rescate. Pero con las poderosas
palabras de Jesus, que sin miedo, dijo al diablo: "No
pongas a prueba al Senor, tu Dios." Y el diablo se aparto
de el por un tiempo.
Incluso el hijo de Dios fue tentado muchas veces, lo
vemos en los Evangelios. Y como hemos mencionado
anteriormente, las tentaciones siempre estarán ahí. En
el evangelio de este domingo, el diablo se alejó de él
por un tiempo. Y así, mientras estamos en este tiempo
Santo de Cuaresma fortaleciendo nuestra fe a través
de oraciones y ayuno, debemos ser conscientes de la
presencia del diablo. Debemos saber que también
somos tentados en cualquier momento en la
cotidianeidad de nuestras vidas.
Mientras todo el mundo celebra día de San Valentín
este domingo, unámonos a nosotros mismos con el
amor de Dios y su gracia abundante a través de la
recepción de los sacramentos de la Eucaristía y
confesiones, así como nuestras oraciones fervientes e
incesantes.
Por favor únanse a mí para dar la bienvenida a Ofelia
Balmes como nuestra coordinadora de musical.
Ofelia es la pianista de la Misa de 17:30 en sábados,
y también ha servido una vez en las Misas del
domingo. Por favor apoye su y nuestra música
litúrgica con su participación. Y así le deseamos
suerte al Sr. Arnold Kunst.
