FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT
February 14, 2016
Putting God to the Test
I always thought of the temptations in the desert as part of
Jesus' growth in "wisdom, age, and grace" (Luke 2:52). They
show how Jesus was tempted to be a Messiah in a way that
matched human expectations--those of Jews waiting for a
messiah--instead of doing what His Father wanted. So He could
have provided for all our needs (turn stones into bread,) brought
peace to the world as a great leader (worship the devil,) or been
a superhero (jump off the temple without harm). But I also
wonder if these temptations are what we expect of God.
Do we expect God to provide for our needs by turning
stones into "bread" (i.e., money)? When we ask God to help us
by doing everything for us, we are tempting the Lord. God does
help us with our troubles, but usually by giving us the strength
to get through them with our God-given abilities. This might
mean finding a better job that uses more of our talents. It might
be forgiving us, if we are the cause of our own troubles, and
giving us the courage to start over. It might be a friend who
helps us find the right doctor for a medical problem.
Or do we expect God to bring peace to the world by
instantly removing all nuclear weapons or capturing all
terrorists? When we pray for peace, we could pray that God
show us what we can do to bring about that peace. We could
follow Jesus' command to love those around us, so that peace
spreads from our actions. We could be generous in giving to the
poor, especially where poverty is the cause of war.
Maybe we expect God to be a superhero for us, curing
diseases, stopping hurricanes or earthquakes, and strengthening
our faith with spectacular miracles. Jesus would tell us the same
thing He told the devil: "Don't put the Lord your God to the
test" (see Luke 4:12). Instead, as we take time to pray over the
scriptures, read spiritual books, and share our faith with others,
we will find our faith growing and know that the Lord has been
with us all along the way.

MASS INTENTIONS
If you would like to dedicate a Mass for someone, it may be
scheduled either by stopping by the parish office or calling.
Since a Mass Stipend is truly an offering, the amount is
entirely up to the individual scheduling the intention. The
only insight we can offer is that the average stipend is
approximately $10.00 per scheduled Mass. The offering is
truly up to you. Consideration: A Mass stipend is not
required, rather it is a customary offering to the Priest. The
spiritual value is in the Mass itself. The inability to offer a
stipend should never deter someone from scheduling a Mass.

Dear Parishioners,
Happy Lent! As I write this, I feel dejected and little bit
like Lent began last night when it became clear the
Broncos were going to be an extremely tough matchup for
our Panthers! I guess that’s how it goes - because I’m sure
the folks in Denver are celebrating like it’s the Easter
season!! In any event, this is a blessed time of year and we
have a lot of great opportunities to grow this Lent.
Monday evenings are going to be our focus this year. We
have guest speakers discussing spirituality. Sister Peggy, a
Sister of Mercy, begins the series on Monday, Feb 22.
Then we have Fr. Robert, a Franciscan, on
Monday, Feb. 29. Then, I will be presenting
on “Diocesan Priest Spirituality” on Monday,
March 7th. I’ve had so many people ask
about my trip to the missions in India, so I
have a feeling that my presentation may
morph into/include a slideshow presentation
of the trip. The format for these three nights
will be a soup supper at 6:00pm in the social
hall followed by the talk at 7:00pm in the
Church. Lastly, there will be a Lenten
Penance Service on Monday, March 14th at 7:00pm. As
mentioned, if it’s a Monday in Lent, there’s a high
probability there’s something being offered for you to
grow spiritually here at St. Eugene.
In Christ,
Father Pat

Estimados Feligreses,
Feliz Cuaresma! Mientras escribo esto, me siento abatido y
me siento como si la Cuaresma comenzó anoche, cuando
se hizo evidente que los Broncos iban a ser un equipo muy
difícil para nuestras Panteras! Supongo que así son las
cosas - porque estoy seguro de que la gente en Denver está
celebrando como si fuera la temporada de Pascua !! En
cualquier caso, La Cuaresma es un tiempo del año muy
bendito y tendremos muchos eventos y oportunidades para
crecer en esta Cuaresma. Lunes por la noche será nuestro
enfoque este año. Tendremos presentadores invitados que
hablaran sobre la espiritualidad. Hermana Peggy, una
hermana de la caridad, iniciara con la series el lunes 22 de
febrero. Después tendremos a el Padre Roberto, un
Franciscano, el lunes 29 de febrero. Por ultimo, yo hablare
sobre "La Espiritualidad de Un Padre Diocesano" el lunes
7 de marzo. Mucha gente me a preguntado acerca de mi
viaje a las misiones en la India, así que tengo la sensación
de que mi presentación se transformara en o incluyen una
presentación de mi viaje. El formato de estas tres noches
será una cena de sopa a las 6:00 pm en el salón social y
seguida la charla a las 7:00 pm en el Santuario. Por último,
habrá un servicio de Penitencia Cuaresmal el lunes 14 de
Marzo a las 7:00 pm. Como se ha mencionado, si se trata
de un lunes de Cuaresma, hay una alta probabilidad de que
hay algo para el desarrollo Espiritual aquí, en San Eugenio.
En Cristo Jesus,
Padre Pat
these disciplines in anticipation of
the renewal of their baptismal
commitment on Easter. From its
earliest days, the Church has urged
the baptized and the catechumens
to observe the threefold discipline
of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer
as a preparation for the celebration
of Easter. Failure to observe
individual days of penance is not
considered serious, but failure to
observe any penitential days at all
or a substantial number of such
days must be considered serious.
During Lent, the Church
encourages attendance at daily
Mass, self-imposed times of
fasting, and generosity to local,
national, and worldwide programs
of sharing.

Mother of Our Lord, is a central

THINKING OF JOINING THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH?
Our weekly sessions for R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation
for Adults) have begun. Sessions will take place on Sundays, in
the parish parlor, from 9:40 to 10:40am. The journey of faith
begins with questions - your questions. What do Catholics believe? How does Catholicism fit in with other faith traditions?
The process begins with an “inquiry” period when questions
lead to exploration. Please join us for a fun-filled, faith-filled,
Spirit-filled gathering. If you would like to begin this journey
of faith, please call our parish office and provide your contact
