No 106 What do we learn from the temptations in the desert? (538- 407,566)
WHAT DOES THE COMPENDIUM SAY?
Compendium states:
The
temptations of Jesu in the desert recapitulates the temptation of Adam in
Paradise and the temptations of Israel in the desert. Satan tempts Jesus in
regard to His obedience to the mission given by Him by the Father. Christ, the
new Adam, resists and His victory proclaims that of his passion which is the
supreme obedience of His filial love. The Church unites herself to this mystery
in a special way in the liturgical season of Lent.
PERSONAL RESPONSE
What does this mean for me?
- I can thank God for His obedience to His
Father and try to imitate this obedience in my life through with Jesus.
- I can try to use my daily life to become holy
through my daily acts of obedience, prayer, simplicity, work and family
love.
- I can ponder carefully what the mystery of
Christ’s sacrifice means to me.
- I can enter into the mystery of this sacrifice
more deeply every time I go to Mass and review my commitment to Lenten
season.
