SUMMARY:1 st Sunday of Lent
DESCRIPTION:PREPARE YOUR SOUL FOR AN ORDEAL \nFrom a commentary by John Justus Landsberg 1\n◊◊◊\nEverything the Lord Jesus decided to do\, everything he chose to endure\,\nwas ordained by him for our instruction\, our correction\, and our advantage\, and\nsince he knew that the teaching and consolation we should derive from it all was\nfar from negligible\, he was loath to let slip any opportunity that might profit us.\nAnd so when he was led out into the wilderness there is no doubt that his guide\nwas the Holy Spirit whose intention was to take him to a place where he would\nbe exposed to temptation\, a place where the devil would have the audacity to\naccost him and put him to the test. The circumstances were so greatly in the\ndevil’s favor that he was prompted to capitalize on them; here was Jesus alone\nat prayer\, physically worn out by fasting and abstinence. A chance indeed to\nfind out whether this man really was the Christ\, whether or not he was the Son\nof God. \nFrom this episode therefore our first lesson is that human life on earth\nis a life of warfare\, and the first thing Christians must expect is to be tempted\nby the devil. As Scripture tells us\, we have to be prepared for temptation\, for it\nis written: When you enter God’s service\, prepare your soul for an ordeal. For\nthis reason\, the Lord desires that newly baptized and recent converts too find\ncomfort in his own example. Reading in the gospel that Christ too was tempted\nby the devil immediately after he was baptized\, they will not grow fainthearted\nand fearful if they experience keener temptations from the devil after their\nconversion or baptism than before – even if persecution should be their lot. \nThe second lesson Christ desires to impress upon us by his own example\nis that we should not lightly expose ourselves to temptation\, for we read that it\nwas the Holy Spirit who led Jesus into the wilderness. Mindful of our frailty\nrather\, we must be on the watch\, praying not to be put to the test\, and keeping\nourselves clear of every occasion of temptation. \n1\nJourney with the Fathers – Year B – New City Press – 1999 – pg 82-83.
