CARE AND SHARE 2010 FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT LK 4:1-13 The words of the gospel today lead us to begin our Lenten Journey by following Jesus into the desert for 40 days where he will fast and be tempted. Throughout the temptations, Jesus remained steadfast

in his absolute obedience and surrender to the will of God. As we begin or Lenten journey, cleansing our hearts and souls during these

40 days, may we too remain steadfast in our obedience and surrender to the will of God, and may our eyes be opened to the care of God’s Church through our generous offerings to Care and Share

RITUAL OF ATONEMENT SERVICES The Ritual of Atonement, coming within the Season of Lent,

will be an opportunity to express and admit the various ways

by which the faithful have been hurt, not only by each other,

but by those who have held positions of leadership and/or

reconciliation. All are welcome.
