We welcome Bishop Keehner to our parish this
Sunday afternoon, (on the far side of our
Sioux City Diocese). He will preside at the
Mass for the Sacrament of Confirmation for
those students who will “be sealed with the
gift of the Holy Spirit.”
“Lord, it is good that we are here.” Peter’s words
spoken to Jesus at the moment of the
Transfiguration, speaks of the visible presence
that overwhelms his faith.
“At that timeJesus was led bythe Spirit intothe
desert to be tempted bythedevil.
He fastedfor fortydaysandforty nights. . .”
Each Lenten Season the Church places the gospel
passage describing Jesus’forty days in the desert
on the first Sunday of this‘forty dayjourney.’
