the yearly observances of holy land that we may grow in understanding of the riches hidden in christ and by worthly conduct pursue their effects through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever amen 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 arab man 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 [Music] 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 no evil shall be for you nor shall affliction come near his angels he has given command about you that they shall guard you in all your ways be with me [Music] upon their hands they shall bear you all lest you dash your foot against a stone you shall tread upon the asp and the viper you shall trample down the lion and the dragon 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 i will be with him in distress i will deliver him and glorify him be with me a reading from the letter of saint paul to the romans brothers and sisters what does scripture 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 so is justified and one confesses with the mouth and so 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 [Music] [Music] jesus christ king of and bless glory one dose [Music] [Music] a reading from the holy gospel according to luke 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 these stones to become 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 all 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 reply it is written you shall worship the lord your god and him alone shall you serve then he led him to jerusalem made him stand on the parapet of the temple and said to him if you are the son of god throw yourself down from here for it is written he will command his angels concerning you to guard you and with their hands they will support you lest you dash your foot against the stone jesus said to him in reply it also says you shall not put the lord your god to the test when the devil had finished every temptation he departed from him for a whole time the gospel of the lord once again good afternoon how are you today thank you thank you i didn't hear you so my brothers and sisters welcome to your house today we are celebrating the first sunday of lent and as you realize this is me the new priest now with the opportunity to preach and as you can tell i cannot stand over there so you feel bothered and sorry but i still walking anyways i like to ask questions you don't have to answer but i will ask questions anyways because i just like to we are all a community it's not about the priest preaching and you're listening it's about we all nourish ourselves for the war of god deliver us from evil from where those words come from from the our father those are the last sentence in a prayer that jesus taught to the disciples today as we begin our length journey we see jesus pouring himself into temptation he went to the desert to prepare himself for 40 days so now we compare ourselves during this lengthen season there are 40 days so now we found the first real reason for those who want to ask but why should we prepare ourselves jesus did jesus went to the desert before he began his public ministry so my brothers and sisters all that means we all have a mission to carry yes it is for all baptized men and women is always a mission the issue is sometimes we don't even pay attention why because we just come here to be here and that's it we don't leave our face sometimes and that should be one of the reasons for us to prepare during this time my brothers and sisters one probably the number one issue we all human beings without any exceptions we sin is of pride but father why you say that i feel on myself as a righteous man exactly you are so proud to be so righteous that sometimes you don't need or you don't feel you need to humble yourself and to us god's mercy because everything the church requests you've been doing you pray a lot you try to be a good person and sometimes we feel that's good enough sometimes we just begin a season let me ask you a question i told you i like to ask questions raise your hand if you already know what are you willing to give out during lent see what are you willing to give up for land nobody knows not even the priests i know raising my hand so we are all in the same place why because for us it's just another time so we are not being thoughtful about what these 40 days mean or what should be mean for us it's a journey it's to prepare ourselves but to get into the mystery today through the scripture passage we see jesus plays into temptation he's been 40 days and finally he feel hungry and then the devil comes command the stones to be breath tentation number one basic instinct we need to nourish ourselves not just from bread but from the name of god second temptation he shows the entire world if you worship me i will give you everything temptation of power the first attention he brought him up to the tower the highest part of the tower jumped because it's written he won't allow you to be damaged say no presumption you want then the lord your god so my brothers and sisters with that in mind how are we willing to really prepare ourselves for this journey it's not about giving up something it's about preparing ourselves to really embrace it's not about the tradition it's not about what we hear every single year yes we are called to repent every single day why because it's always that need to try to be better to try god is not expecting impossible from us he knows what we are we are children of god but how are we open ourselves last wednesday we all receive the ash repent and believe on the gospel repent and believe or remember that you are dust and into that you shall return meaning we are nothing our time on this earth is just a journey this for these days has to remind us but has to be an opportunity for us to really be sincere and to embrace it god bless all now with confidence let us profess our faith i believe in one god the father almighty maker of heaven and earth of all things peaceful land invisible i believe in one word jesus christ the only begotten son of god born of the father before all ages god bless life and life true god come true god begotten now made consubstantial with the power through him all things were made for ask men and for our salvation he came down from heaven and with the holy spirit who was caught under the mary and became men for our sake he was crucified under pontius pilate he suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day and then he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father he will come again and glory to jesus and his kingdom will be out known i believe in the holy spirit the lord the giver of from the father life son with the father and the sons of the lord and glorified who have spoken to the purpose i believe in church i confess one day we trust in god we bring our prayers before our gracious father our response is lord hear our
