[Grem] Nagyböjt 1. vasárnapja szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*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. Jesus’ 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.  Satan first tempts him with
sensual pleasure: "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones
become loaves of bread." One of the most elemental forms of spiritual
dysfunction is to make the satisfaction of sensual desire the center of
one’s life. Jesus responds: "One does not live on bread alone, but on every
word that comes forth from the mouth of God."*

> *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.*

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fúinak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
