JESUS AND THE DEVIL

The devil tempted Jesus by quoting scripture, as
todays Gospel reminds us. Try a self-serving miracle.
Try selling out. Try dazzling the audience; people are
gullible, after all. Try all these easy ways. The tempter
tries to urge Jesus onto the slippery slope, attempts the
old soft-soap, the snake-oil solutions that are always
readily at hand. The devil knows better, but is powerless to do better, much less be better. The devil is evil
personified, who senses in Jesus the stronger, truly
attractive presence of holiness.
Evil is exposed and engaged, we are reminded in
this Sundays Gospel. Evil knows the jig is up. The
undoing of lies begins with Jesus, who takes up the
work of soul-healing and world-healing. This Lent,
the Church invites us to enter into this renewing, recreative work and be made whole again.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Today Lent begins. Ash Wednesday initiates the forty days of the Lenten
fast, but since Sundays are not tallied in the days of fasting, today is the solemn opening of the forty days of Lent. The Church has work to do today,
principally the calling forward of those chosen (the proper word is elected)
for the Easter sacraments. Some of those who have been catechumens may
now make a transition to a new way of life as the elect. For them, this Lent
will be a time of purification and enlightenment. For us who accompany
them, it is a time of helping them discern Gods call and prepare for new life.
This year, while the readings from the third year of the Lectionary cycle
are usually read, they are set aside on certain Sundays for the benefit of the elect. We turn then to the readings from Year A, and we give those who journey to the font of baptism three extraordinary companions.
In the Gospels for those days, we meet the woman of Samaria and the man born blind, and we come to the
tomb of Lazarus three days after his death. Many bishops celebrate the Rite of Election on or near today,
affirming Gods choice for these new faithful, and also offering them the solidarity of many companions.
In 2013, over 38,000 adults entered the baptismal waters in the United States, a remarkable testimony to
the vigor of our tradition of receiving and nurturing adult faith.

Music Ministry News:

Many years ago, St. Albert the Great Music Ministry established a Bell
Choir. This choir utilizes traditional bells as well as chimes in its beautiful
musical settings. In the next couple of weeks, the parish would like to bring the
special beauty to our Saturday, 5 PM liturgy. New applicants should be able to
have an excellent sense of rhythm and enjoy camaraderie. The Bell Choir will
practice one hour a week on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 PM and typically play one or two
Masses a month on Saturdays. If you are interested in joining our new Bell Choir, please see Matthew
Berardi, our Organist up in the choir loft after the Saturday 5 PM Mass or the Sunday 7:30 AM Mass or
you may call, (708) 614-8390 for further information.
SERVE THE POOR
Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them as you would Christ himself.

DIABELSKA BEZCZELNO
Historia ukazana dzi w Ewangelii jest niesamowita
Jezus zostaje poddany kuszeniu przez diaba.
Kuszenie jest bardzo konkretnie, realne i bezczelnie.
Ten ewangeliczny opis winien by nam bliski, bo
jestemy poddawani prbie na kadym kroku. Gd,
bogactwo innych, pycha, pragnienie posiadania,
zazdro, wywyszanie si to codzienne pokusy,
ktre nas atakuj z zewntrz i od rodka. Std tylko
krok, aby odda pokon diabu. Czsto wobec pokus
tego wiata jestemy bezsilni i mwimy: Nie
dajemy ju rady. Jezus jako czowiek, te pewnie
mgby tak powiedzie i ulec. On jednak
pokazuje nam, jak da odpr konkretnemu zu i
pokusie. Najlepszym sposobem jest by blisko Pana
Boga, y Boym sowem a nie jest to atwe!
A kto powiedzia, e droga do doskonaoci jest
atwa, lekka i przyjemna? Pan Jezus jako czowiek
pokazuje, e ycie sowem Boym pomaga,
karmienie si Eucharysti wzmacnia ducha, a ufno
Bogu udoskonala w yciu.
Nigdy nie byo i nie bdzie atwo w yciu, bo szatan
nie odpuci. Czy pamitamy ostatnie zdanie z
dzisiejszej Ewangelii? Gdy diabe dokoczy
caego kuszenia, odstpi od Niego a do czasu (k
4,13). A wic trzeba liczy si z tym, e zy znowu
zaatakuje i wiemy, e w przypadku Pana Jezusa tak
byo. Moe nawet zaatakuje ze zdwojon si. Ale
jak pisze w. Pawe jeli Bg jest z nami, kt
przeciwko nam? Z Bo pomoc dziki spowiedzi,
komunii w., modlitwom mamy szans wygra
kolejny raz i jeszcze raz, i jeszcze raz. Zwycistwo
przyjdzie, bo przyj musi tym zwycistwem jest
pusty grb i zmartwychwstay Chrystus.
( Edycja w. Pawa, ks. Krzysztof Stosur).
