Preparation for Sunday mass: Mark 1:12-15


We present here the text that will be read at Sunday mass, the 1st Sunday of Lent, and we formulate some questions that might help us prepare to hear the reading.

jesus in wilderness

12 And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news."

- After his baptism in the Jordan, Jesus is driven into the wilderness. What kind of place is the “wilderness”?

- What does it mean to be “tempted by Satan”?

- What does it mean “to repent”?
