Text Box: Sunday Scripture Entering into the desert of Lent with Jesus can lead us to new life. This first Sunday of Lent calls us to enter the desert with Jesus. The sacrifices we make can free us to come closer to Jesus so that we can be better witnesses of the Good News. They can also help purify our hearts, that we might be found worthy one day to enter into eternal life. In today's first reading, God makes a promise to Noah that he will never destroy all life by flood again. The rainbow is the sign of this promise. In the second reading, Peter shows the connection between the great flood of Noah's time and Baptism. In the Gospel, after spending time in the desert, Jesus begins his public ministry.
