[Grem] A mai nagyböjti vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

 *Friends, in our Gospel for the First Sunday of Lent, Luke gives us the
story of the temptation in the desert. *At every point in the Gospels, we
are meant to identify with Jesus.







*God became man that man might become God. We participate in him and
thereby learn what a godly life is like. Jesus has just been baptized; he
has just learned his deepest identity and mission. And now he confronts—as
we all must—the great temptations. What precisely is entailed in being the
beloved Son of God? First, the tempter urges him to use his divine power to
satisfy his bodily desires, which Jesus dismisses with a word. Having
failed at his first attempt, the devil plays a subtler game—the temptation
faced by Adam and Eve in the garden: you will decide how and when God will
act. And then the last and perhaps greatest of the temptations: power.
Power is extremely seductive. Many would gladly eschew material things or
attention or fame in order to get it. Jesus’ great answer in Matthew’s
account of this story is "Get away, Satan!" To seek power is to serve
Satan—it is stated that bluntly. Reflect: Which false idol—**pleasure,
power, honor, or wealth—tempts* *you the most? **Why? *
