The Devil’s Attention: If we imagine that temptation never seems to come our way, could it be that we’re not worth the devil’s attention? We tend to think of temptation as something that will lead us into a life of crime or immorality, but temptation is simply anything that threatens to take us away from God. If temptation never seems to come our way, perhaps it’s because we are not trying to be close to God in the first place. We can’t be tempted away from our path in life if we’ve no idea what our path in life is. If we have no plan, we are hardly worth the devil’s attention. When we choose to give up something this Lent, perhaps it should be something that reflects the path we have chosen and the temptation we are trying to transcend. If we decide to give up red wine for instance, with the intention of dropping a couple of dress sizes, God won’t be hugely impressed and the devil won’t be remotely interested. If we give up wine because we have identified that it is stopping us from doing some important work of God’s making, our Lenten journey will take on a life changing significance. Jesus gives us an important clue; “Away with you, Satan! for it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’” When we make our daily choices ask, “Is this about me.... or is it about God?” Trocaire:This year‟s Trócaire Lenten campaign is about the global water crisis. There are 1.1 billion people in our world who are living without access to a reliable source of water. Trócaire is addressing the serious impact of water scarcity by helping people to access safe water for drinking, sanitation and irrigation. This work is made possible through the generous support of parishes across Ireland, which is greatly appreciated. Please bring home a Trócaire box this Lent .Trocaire Boxes for collection at the back of all three churches
