First Sunday in Lent
March 6, 2022
Luke 4:1-13  
We have heard this story before. However, have we heard it through the words of the Shema, the Jewish profession of faith? “The Lord your God is one. You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, soul and strength…and these words shall be on your heart.” There is a balance here that is needed for living life. It all starts with the heart. When lived in this way, our ego doesn’t run wild; we are at peace with ourselves and the world because we are “one” with the Lord.
