Weekly Reflection

1st Sunday of Lent

02-22-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

What is temptation and the three stages of committing sin? There are three stages of committing sin: First, we perceive it as “good” just like Eve “saw the tree was good for food.” We think it is good and can make us happy. But God is the “only Good”, the source of our true happiness.

Secondly, “It is pleasing to the eyes”, if I possess this, I will be happy.
