Friends of the Rosary,
Today, the First Sunday of Lent, presents the scene of the temptation of Christ (Matt. 4:1-4), when Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil after forty days and nights of fasting.
The Gospel of the temptation anticipates how the Prince of Darkness will be cast out, and it heralds Christ’s victory in advance.
Where Adam fell, Christ, the new Head of humanity, triumphs over the power of Satan.
The Church proclaims that this victory should be ours also. Our strength is His. His will be our victory at Easter.
In this Second Reading (Romans 5:12-19), St. Paul stresses that Christ, through his death, not only conquered sin but also poured out divine grace abundantly on mankind, making us his brothers and, therefore, sons of God.
Today, it’s also the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, but it’s superseded in most places by the Sunday of Lent.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
