  1. Activities for the First Week of Lent For Youth & Adults Decide on the foods you will abstain and fast from eating this week, and then estimate what they would cost. Using that money, purchase non-perishable foodstuffs to donate to a food shelf or pantry. For Children Lead your family members in prayer this week, either before meals or in the morning or at bed time. For Families Prepare together a meal of rice and beans. It is one of the easiest and simplest meals to make, and it can place you in solidarity with many of the poor of the world. Pray during the preparation of the meal, thanking God for the beans and the rice. Pray, while eating the meal, for the hungry and poor of the world. For Parish Groups Organize a group of parishioners to visit the sick or shut-ins of the parish. Take along some food or baked goods to share. Here is some insight on this reading • Gospel (Mark 1:12-15) • Jesus is led into the desert by the Spirit where he is tempted three times by the devil. He does not succumb to the temptations and is presented by Mark as a model to be followed. Reflection Questions • How do I feel called into the desert by the Spirit? • What or who do I expect to encounter in the desert? • Who or what hinders me from encountering God and Jesus? • Who will minister to me in the desert?
