Hunger, Testing, and the Angels Who Care for Us | The Rev. Jim McEachran | February 22, 2026

On the First Sunday in Lent, Father Jim McEachran reflects on Matthew 4:1–11 and Jesus’s temptation in the wilderness. Through the themes of hunger, testing, and power, he reminds us that Lent is not about proving ourselves — it is about deepening our roots in grace. Jesus goes first into the wilderness. He faces hunger. He endures testing. He rejects false power. And at the end, angels come to care for him. As we begin this Lenten journey, Father Jim invites us to read the Beatitudes (Matthew 5) and to become “Beatitude people” — those who flourish in God’s grace alone. #StThomasMedina #EpiscopalChurch #Lent2026 #Matthew4 #BlessedAttitude
