What Are You Hungry For This Lent? | First Sunday of Lent Reflection, Providence Podcast

On the First Sunday of Lent, Sister Leslie is joined by Sisters Judy and Alice for a meaningful Lenten reflection on the Gospel of Matthew and the Temptation of Jesus in the desert.

As Jesus fasts for forty days and faces temptation, one powerful question emerges: What are you truly hungry for?

In this episode of the Providence Podcast, we explore spiritual hunger, fasting, power, simplicity, and what it means to be led by the Spirit — even into challenging seasons. Is Lent merely about giving something up? Or is it an invitation to deeper trust, tenderness, and communion with God?

Through faith sharing rooted in Providence spirituality, we reflect on:

  • How temptation shows up in our lives

  • The role of fasting and spiritual clarity

  • Letting go of power struggles

  • Entering the desert as a place of encounter with God

  • Preparing our hearts for Easter

Whether you are seeking a Catholic Lent reflection, a Gospel reflection for the First Sunday of Lent, or encouragement for your spiritual journey, this conversation invites you to pause and listen for what God is stirring within you.

As you begin this Lenten season, take time to ask yourself: What am I hungry for?
