Homily for 1st Sunday of Lent. February 22, 2026
First Sunday of Lent – February 22, 2026 📖 Gospel: Matthew 4:1–11 On this First Sunday of Lent, Jesus is led into the desert. He does not face obvious temptations to evil, but subtle seductions — power, success, control. Today’s Gospel invites us to ask: Who do we truly worship? The God who serves in love… or the power that dominates? #FirstSundayOfLent #Matthew4 #Lent2026 #DesertJourney
