offering to god the fruits of the land in thanksgiving the israelites profess publicly the saving acts god has done on their behalf lent is the time to recall the lord jesus suffering on our behalf a reading from the book of deuteronomy moses spoke to the people saying the priest shall receive the basket from you and shall set it in front of the altar of the lord your god then you shall declare before the lord your god my father was a wandering aramian who went down to egypt with a small household and lived there as an alien but there he became a nation great strong and numerous when the egyptians maltreated and oppressed us imposing hard labor upon us we cried to the lord the god of our fathers and he heard our cry and saw our affliction our toil and our oppression he brought us out of egypt with his strong hand and outstretched arm with terrifying power with signs and wonders and bringing us into this country he gave us this land flowing with milk and honey therefore i have now brought you the first fruits of the products of the soil which you o lord have given me and having set them before the lord your god you shall bow down in his presence the word of the lord thanks be to god be with me lord when i am in trouble be with me lord when i am in trouble you who dwell in the shelter of the most high who abide in the shadow of the almighty say to the lord my refuge and fortress my god in whom i trust be with me lord when i am in trouble no evil shall befall you nor shall affliction come near your tent for to his angels he has given command about you that they guard you in all your ways be with me lord when i am in trouble upon their hands they shall bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone you shall thread upon the asp and the viper you shall trample down the lion and the dragon be with me lord when i am in trouble because he clings to me i will deliver him i will set him on high because he acknowledges my name he shall call upon me and i will answer him i will be with him in distress i will deliver him and glorify him be with me lord when i am in trouble the apostle paul exhorts us to place our faith and confidence in the lord jesus who suffered and died and was raised from the dead for our salvation a reading from the letter of saint paul to the romans brothers and sisters what the scriptures say the word is near you in your mouth and in your heart that is the word of faith that we preach for if you confess with your mouth that jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead you will be saved for one believes with the heart and soul is justified and one confesses with a mouth and soul is saved for the scripture says no one who believes in him will be put to shame for there is no distinction between jew and greek the same lord is lord of all enriching all who call upon him for everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved the word of the lord thanks be to god please stand to honor the holy gospel one does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of god the lord be with you and with your spirit reading from the holy gospel according to luke glory to you o lord filled with the holy spirit jesus returned from the jordan and was led by the spirit into the desert for 40 days to be tempted by the devil he ate nothing during those days and when they were over he was hungry the devil said to him if you are the son of god command this stone to be calm bread jesus answered him it is written one does not live on bread alone then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant the devil said to him i shall give to you on this power and glory for it has been handed over to me and i may give it to whomever i wish all this will be yours if you worship me jesus said to him in replied is written you shall worship the lord your lord and him alone shall you reserve then he led him to jerusalem make him stand on the path of the temple and say to him if you are the son of god threw yourself down from here for his written he will command his angels concerning you to route you and with their hands they will support you lest you dust your foot against a stone jesus said to him eden replied it also says you shall not put the lord your word to the test when the devil had finished every temptation he departed from him for a time my dear brothers and sisters the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ in everyday life choosing and deciding to step forward is always important and necessary therefore everyone wishes to make the right choice right choice and decision to do that is not easy indeed so let us let the holy spirit guide us enlighten us like jesus in the first sentence of today's gospel he was filled with the holy spirit but in greek terms great words he led the holy spirit to write him ibis obey him it is an active act is not passive act he led holy spirit he allows holy spirit to ride him hence he overcame all the temptations dear brothers and sisters normally the gospel of the first sunday of lent is always the story of jesus being tempted by the devil why why did the church shows the story of temptation for us to read and to meditate on today to invite ourselves to call ourselves to think about this as we know learn a season of love a time when we practice virtuous sacrifice in order to form a new person in each of us new thoughts new spirit new will a new commitment this matter is to fight against unrighteous passions sinful occasions and temptations so the church choose this story to read today in order to help us realize what temptations do we have to face and what should we do to overcome the temptations hello in the gospel reading we see jesus being tempted by satan about three basic humanness in of all times that is bread food and money and fame first bread is essential need to have good foods to eat to have beautiful clothes to dress to have a lot possession better that is good but here we need to know when and in one context was jesus tempted at the time when he was hungry when he was hungry the gospel reported he ate nothing during those days and then they were when they were over he was hungry in this context when we are hungry we want to eat this is a basic and natural need of each of us being tao the devil said to jesus when he was hungry command this stone to become bread and eat deeply embedded in that proportion is the notion that as long as when we have money we have possessions we can solve everything that is the temptation of today if we have money we have everything so is completely true total agree that being poor is difficult to be happy there must be basic needs in human life so that so we need bread we need money and possessions for our life if we want to do something halimbawa we want to build a church or we want to do something nothing we need para we are really realistic with the money difficult to serve god well bishop peter the devil tells the truth but only a half of the truth my dear brothers and sisters money and material material things are important and necessary but they don't own they don't show everything experience shows that many families are very rich but their children involve gambling broken family [Music] divorce hiwali so where is happiness several years ago in my country one family owes the chongyan coffee company very big very very big the problem happened between the rich husband and wife now they divorce denouncing each other in tv and in the court after more than 20 years of living together very very much money marami para sila or recently kovit 19 pandemic nangyari many people had a lot of money but they could not save their life my dear brothers and sisters the experiences of life are close to us money is needed but not everything the devil tells us it takes a half of the truth to make the whole truth [Applause] [Laughter] the devil also used the word of god to tempt jesus and us that is when we it used this method it tells the truth but only a half of the truth not the whole truth the second temptation is the same only half truth i shall give to you on this power and their glory all this will be yours if you worship me implicit there is a point of view having power can stop it's owned yes it's correct malapedna our election they need power to serve to do everything to do something to build a new society there must be power yes but only a half right a half kato to hana powers essential for leaders but not all the history of the world has proven there were many dictators with great power but only created fear death and suffering to mankind to human beings so raise happiness only a half of the truth the last temptation is temptation for today of today that is the attitude of of complacency with ourselves forcing others to serve us following our following our own aloha our own will people think that science can solve everything but not sometimes it surprise people from each other make us far from each other human solidarity becomes more and more blood they must tell the truth but only half of it it seduces and appears with a very sweet beautiful and attractive appearance and today the temptation is sweeter stranger and more dangerous that is why we are easily tempted but hidden in that attractive beautiful appearance is death is kamataya sin is sin that leads us to kamatayan mangakapatit land is season of hope a season of love the season for us to rediscover the mukha nanjos i my wine nothing am i the face of god who is rich in mercy i wish we could take advantage of this time to pray to be silent and to meditate so that we can listen and let the holy spirit guide us in all our choices and decisions as at the beginning of the sharing i already explained and mentioned we asked the active art of jesus let the holy spirit to guide us allow holy spirit to be with us so that we may become new more virtuous holier and more loving people amen young the father almighty maker of heaven and earth of all things visible and invisible i believe in one lord jesus christ the only begotten son of god born of the father before all ages god from god light from light true god from true god begotten not made consubstantial with the father through him all things were made for us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven and by the holy spirit was incarnate of the virgin mary and became man for our sake he was crucified under pontius pilate he suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end i believe in the holy spirit the lord the giver of life who proceeds from the father and the son who with the father and the son is adored and glorified who has spoken through the prophets i believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church i confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and i look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the
