The Season of Lent is coming soon. In fact, it is just around the corner. It is an annual commemoration in the whole Christendom of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
No other figure has deeply touched and revolutionizes the course of human history than that of our Lord Jesus Christ. His whole life is devoted to the worship of God and the service of humankind.
He practice what he preached and offer everything to God and to Man His very own life through His Supreme Sacrifice on the Cross.
Love of God And Love Of Neighbor
The primary teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ can be summarized as the “Love of God” and the “Love of Neighbor”. This is narrated in the Gospel of St. Matthew Chapter 22, verses 35 to 40, as follows:
“35 Then one of them a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, saying,
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 “This is the first and great commandment.
39 “And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 “On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Who could contradict or oppose these teachings in terms of its sublimity and wholesome effect to humanity.
Will there be any more quarrel, misunderstanding, civil strife, terrorism or even war if these commandments of love will be followed by mankind?
The whole life of our Lord Jesus Christ is indeed full of mystery. No one could ever follow His footsteps. He shares our humanity and everything connected to us except sin.
As the period of Lent approaches let us pause for a moment to reflect, contemplate, pray and meditate on the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and how it relates to our lives.
Amen.

The Lenten season always begin with remembering the Temptation of Jesus. This shows that even the most powerful of persons can go through temptations. Jesus shows us how to properly refuse to give in to temptation. The three temptations of Jesus show us that the categories of temptation include food, riches and glory. By refusing to submit to these sins we reaffirm our allegiance to God.This is no a one time things but a daily rejecting which we must endure.
