1st Sunday in Year A Matthew 4:1-11
Jesus fasts for forty days and is tempted.
Soup Lunch in the hall every Friday in Lent
At that time: Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
And the tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’ But he answered, ‘It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” ’
Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the Temple and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “He will command his angels concerning you”, and “On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.” ’ Jesus said to him, ‘Again it is written, “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.” ’

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

This parish serves the Catholic community living in Shirley, Freemantle and beyond, as well as those who choose to make this church their spiritual home.
This community aspires to share and celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ with others; to offer the hand of friendship as a welcoming community; to see and respond to the suffering flesh of Christ near and far; and to sustain through the celebration of the Sacraments the shared purpose and common mind of this faith community.
