And during that time, Satan, the devil, comes and presents Jesus with three temptations. And Jesus three times says “no” to sin and “yes” to His Heavenly Father’s will. You and I are now in the forty days of Lent – a time for prayer, for penance, for charitable works – and we are making a kind of retreat together. We use this time to say “no” to temptation and sin, and to say “yes” to God and God’s will for us. I am sure that you have all begun your plans for Lent this year, but I thought I would give you another suggestion that really won’t get in the way of what you are already doing.

And they are so excited about this book that they wanted you to have a copy to take home with you on this First Sunday of Lent -- and free of charge!And what are the four signs of a dynamic Catholic? Prayer, Study, Generosity and Evangelization. [And don’t let those words scare you. They will come to be good, close friends!]For the six Sundays of Lent, I will be basing my homilies on the Scriptures and on a section of this book. And the page references for each week are listed in this weekend’s bulletin. It is all broken down, asking you to read about 30-35 pages each week – or 4-5 pages each day. Can we do this? Yes or yes? Let me tell you a bit about what is in store for us in The Prologue and Chapter One: entitled “Incredible Possibilities” [and found in pages 5-37]. The 80/20 Study And I will let Matthew Kelly tell you in his own words: Several years ago I was having dinner with a group of priests in Minnesota before an event. I was the only non-cleric at the table, and some of the priests started talking about different things that were happening in their parishes. One of the priests was very young, and he was lamenting about how few people were actively involved at his parish. My mind was star
