#Lent1 today and Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. I love the #GospelOfMark version best because a) he doesn’t recount the three temptations; and b) the devil never leaves. As fully human/fully divine, I can get behind the idea that, like me, Jesus was tempted every day.

5 short parables in tomorrow’s gospel one right after another: mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure, valuable pearl, and a fishing net. The kingdom of heaven isn’t like any one individual parable, but like a compilation of all five.
