 *Friends, today’s Gospel tells of the Lord’s temptation in the desert.
After forty days of fasting in the desert (evocative of Israel’s forty
years of wandering in the desert), Jesus meets the devil, who proceeds to
lure the Messiah onto the path of sin. *His sacrifice will entail his
coming to battle sin at close quarters,

* his willingness, therefore, to be drawn by its power, to come under its
sway. *

* Jesus enters, through psychological and spiritual identification, into
the condition of the person lured by this sin, but then he manages to
withstand the temptation and in fact to twist this perversion back to
rectitude. *

*Reflect: Has the "satisfaction of sensual desire" for food, drink, sex, or
another physical pleasure ever been the center of your life? How well did
that pleasure satisfy you? *
* Ó bűn nélkül fogantatott Szűz Mária, könyörögj értünk, kik hozzád
menekülünk! *
