Christ's temptations, our temptations

The Catholic Church invites us to celebrate the Holy time of Lent. Lent is an important time. It is a very sacred time. During Lent, the Church invites us constantly to prepare for the celebration of the mystery of Easter. This sacred time leads us to Holy Thursday, when we evoke the Last Supper and the institution of the Holy Eucharist. On Good Friday we meditate the passion and death of Jesus, and, finally, on Easter Sunday we celebrate with joy the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

THE REAL ARGUMENT OVER 'AMORIS LAETITIA'

I enjoyed reading this article. I find it well balanced and worth reading.

Let your light shine

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 8, 16-18)

Jesus said to the crowd: “No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.” This is the word of the Lord.

“Why do persons light a lamp? Why do we switch on the lights?” This is a question nobody is asking Jesus, however Luke reports him saying that one lights a lamp and puts it on a lampstand “so that those who enter the (house) may see the light”. Matthew’s rendering of Christ’s words is slightly different in that he states that one lights a lamp and “it gives light to all in the house” (Mt 5, 15). Let us remember that Luke is addressing former gentiles who are entering the Church, while Matthew is writing to Jews the Chosen People of God. For Luke, light is a sign of welcome; for Matthew it is a sign of deeper learning. For both Matthew and Luke, and for Jesus the fundamental message is that light is to be shared with those in the house and those who are outside in the dark.
