Weekly Reflection:
My tempted Lord, You allowed Yourself to endure the humiliation of being tempted by satan himself. You did so to show me and all Your children that we can overcome our own temptations through You and by Your strength. Help me, dear Lord, to daily turn to You with my struggles so that You will be victorious in me. Jesus, I trust in You. Reflexión semanal: Mi tentado Señor, te permitiste soportar la humillación de ser tentado por el mismo satanás. Lo hiciste para mostrarme a mí y a todos Tus hijos que podemos vencer nuestras propias tentaciones a través de Ti y con Tu fuerza. Ayúdame, querido Señor, a acudir a ti todos los días en mis luchas para que vengas en mí. Jesús, en Ti confío. Weekly Collect:
Grant, almighty God, through the yearly observances of holy Lent, that we may grow in understanding of the riches hidden in Christ and by worthy conduct pursue their effects. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Collect Semanal: Concede, Dios todopoderoso, mediante las observancias anuales de la santa Cuaresma, que podamos crecer en el entendimiento de las riquezas escondidas en Cristo y por medio de una conducta digna perseguir sus efectos. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.

Liturgy of the Hours-"Praying the Breviary""Seven times a day I praise you, because your judgments are righteous." PS 119:164“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours.
