First Reading
Deuteronomy 26:4-10

Responsorial Psalm
91:1-2, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15

Second Reading
Romans 10:8-13

Gospel
Luke 4:1-13

Today, in St. Luke’s Gospel, Jesus reacts to one of Satan’s
temptations in the desert, professing: It is written: You shall
worship the Lord, your God, and Him alone shall you serve.

The evangelist St. Paul, in his Letter to the Roman community, urges them, and us, to believe Jesus is Lord.

In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses, in a spirit of gratitude, offers the harvest’s first fruits to the priest.

The Lord invites Christian stewards to return to Him our “first fruits” in prayer, service, and generosity.

Contribute to your parish food pantry or spend time at a local soup kitchen as a gift of your stewardship to those in need.

O gracious Master, infuse in our hearts the spotless light of Your
Divine Wisdom and open the eyes of our mind that we may
understand the teachings of Your Gospel.

Instill in us also the fear of Your blessed commandments, so that having curbed all carnal desires, we may lead a spiritual life, both thinking and doing
everything to please You.

For You, O Christ, our God, are the
enlightenment of our souls and bodies; and to You we render glory, together with Your eternal Father, and with Your all holy, life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and forever.   Amen

“Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may go to heaven.”

-Saint Rose of Lima
