God’s Word Today
The Church teaches us that two spiritual strands
weave together to form the fabric of the season of
Lent. The first, and most familiar, is the repentant
character of Lent. Through the penitential practices
of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving we spend these
forty days in the desert of repentance, preparing for
the celebration of Easter. The second strand is the
baptismal character of this holy season. The
unbaptized spend Lent in preparation for their
baptism and most of us, the already baptized, spend
this time prepararing to renew the promises-the
covenant-established when we were baptized.
Today’s readings echo this theme of the conenant
between God and us-God’s holy people. Let us enter
the Lenten desert of repentance, mindful of the
promises made at our baptism when we rejected
Satan and professed faith in God.
La Palabra De Dios Hoy
La Iglesisa nos enseña que dos hebras se entreejen a
fin de forma el tejido de tiempo de Cuaresma. La
primera y más familiar de esas bebras es el character
contrito de la Cuaresma. Por medio de las practices
penitenciales de la oración, el ayuno y la limosna
pasamos estos cuarenta días en el desierto del arrepentimiento, preparándonos para la celebración de la
Pascua. La segunda es el character bautismal de este
tiempo de gracia. Las personas que n están bautizadas pasan la Cuaresma preparándose para su
bautismo y la mayoría de nosotros pasamos este
tiempo preparándonos para renovar las promesas, o
sea la alianza, establecida en el momento de nuestro
bautismo. Las lecturas de hoy hacen eco de este tema
de promesas, o sea la alianza, entre Dios y nosotros,
el pueblo escogido de Dios. Entremos en el desierto
cuaresmal del arrepentimiento conscientes de las
promesas hechas en nuestro bautismo cuando renunciamos a Satanás y profesamos nuestra fe en Dios.
