First Sunday of Lent – March 5, 2017
Gospel Reading: Matthew 4:1-11
“It is written: ‘One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.’”
Forty days is a long time. During his own forty days in the desert prior to the beginning of his public ministry, Jesus was tempted by Satan, who tried to convince him to seek worldly comforts. In Catholic schools, we have the opportunity to lead our students to the knowledge that it is with the Word of God that we are truly nourished, because the world and its alluring promises do not suffice.
How can you inspire your students to prepare their hearts for Easter throughout the somber season of Lent?
