The First Sunday of Lent

Second Reading 1 Pt 3:1822

Beloved:

Christ suffered for sins once,

the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God.

Put to death in the flesh,

he was brought to life in the Spirit.

In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient

while God patiently waited in the days of Noah during the building of the ark,

in which a few persons, eight in all, were saved through water.

This prefigured baptism, which saves you now.

It is not a removal of dirt from the body but an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven

and is at the right hand of God,

with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.

Gospel Mk 1:1215

The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert,and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan.

He was among wild beasts,

and the angels ministered to him.

After John had been arrested,

Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:

“This is the time of fulfillment.

The kingdom of God is at hand.

Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

First Reading At The Mass Gn 9:8-15

God said to Noah and to his sons with him:

“See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after youand with every living creature that was with you: all the birds, and the various tame and wild animalsthat were with you and came out of the ark.

I will establish my covenant with you,that never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood; there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth.”

God added:

“This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come, of the covenant between me and you

and every living creature with you:

I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings,

so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all mortal beings.”

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK First Reading:

God promises Noah to use a “bow in the clouds”

(a rainbow) as a sign and symbol of His divine pledge to never again allow a world-wide flood to devastate the earth. This is the Bible’s first recorded covenant between God and humanity. What do you think of when you see a rainbow?

Second Reading:

Peter teaches that Jesus preached to both the living and the dead — those dead dating back to the days of Noah — and connecting us through baptism. What do you find intriguing about this idea?

Gospel:

We hear about Jesus’ temptation in the desert and his inaugural gospel message to those living in Galilee. Jesus saw repentance as necessary to believe his good news.

As we begin the Lenten journey, what aspects of your life require repentance?

NEW TIME FOR LIVESTREAMING THE SUNDAY MASS

NOW THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BE INSIDE FOR MASS, IT WAS DECIDED TO CHANGE

RATHER THAN THE 11:00 A.M. IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE WEATHER. ALSO, THE EQUIPMENT

SEEMS TO WORK BETTER INSIDE THAN OUTSIDE.

The livestream is recorded so it can be

viewed anytime during the day or any day.

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma

Primera Lectura Gn 9, 8-15

En aquellos días, dijo Dios a Noé y a sus hijos:

“Ahora establezco una alianza con ustedes y con sus descendientes, con todos los animales que los acompañaron, aves, ganados y fieras, con todos los que salieron del arca, con todo ser viviente sobre la tierra. Ésta es la alianza que establezco con ustedes: No volveré a exterminar la vida con el diluvio, ni habrá otro diluvio que destruya la tierra”.

Y añadió: “Ésta es la señal de la alianza perpetua que yo establezco con ustedes y con todo ser viviente que esté con ustedes.Pondré mi arco iris en el cielo como señal de mi alianza con la tierra, y cuando yo cubra de nubes la tierra, aparecerá el arco iris y me acordaré de mi alianza con ustedes y con todo ser viviente. No volverán las aguas del diluvio a destruir la vida”.

Segunda Lectura 1 Pt 3, 18-22 Hermanos: Cristo murió, una sola vez y para

siempre, por los pecados de los hombres; él, el justo, por nosotros, los injustos, para llevarnos a Dios;

murió en su cuerpo y resucitó glorificado. En esta ocasión, fue a proclamar su mensaje a los espíritus encarcelados, que habían sido rebeldes en los tiempos de Noé, cuando la paciencia de Dios aguardaba, mientras se construía el arca, en la que unos pocos, ocho personas, se salvaron flotando sobre el agua. Aquella agua era figura del bautismo, que ahora los salva a ustedes y que no consiste en quitar la inmundicia corporal, sino en el compromiso de vivir con una buena conciencia ante Dios, por la resurrección de Cristo Jesús, Señor nuestro, que subió al cielo y está a la derecha de Dios, a quien están sometidos los ángeles, las potestades y las virtudes.

Lecturas para el 1º Domingo de Cuaresma

En aquel tiempo, el Espíritu impulsó a Jesús a retirarse al desierto, donde

permaneció cuarenta días y fue tentado por Satanás. Vivió allí entre animales salvajes, y los ángeles le servían.

Después de que arrestaron a Juan el Bautista, Jesús se fue a Galilea para predicar el Evangelio de Dios y decía: “Se ha cumplido el tiempo y el Reino de Dios ya está cerca. Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio”.

PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA

Primera Lectura:

Dios promete a Noé que usará un “arco en las nu- bes” (un arco iris) como señal y símbolo de su divina promesa de no permitir nunca más que una inundación mundial devaste la tierra. Este es el primer pacto re- gistrado en la Biblia entre Dios y la humanidad. ¿En qué piensas cuando ves un arcoíris?

Segunda Lectura:

Pedro enseña que Jesús predicó tanto a los vivos co- mo a los muertos, aquellos muertos que se remontan a los días de Noé, y conectándonos a través del bautis- mo. ¿Qué te intriga de esta idea?

Evangelio:

Escuchamos sobre la tentación de Jesús en el desierto y su mensaje evangélico inaugural para los que viven en Galilea. Jesús vio el arrepentimiento como algo necesario para creer en su buena nueva. Al comenzar el viaje de Cuaresma, ¿qué aspectos de tu vida re- quieren arrepentimiento?
