MEDITATION by Father Duolomane (Joe)<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus had just been baptized. Driven by the Spirit into the desert, he was tempted by Satan. For a child, being tempted means wanting to do what the parents have forbidden”: eating jam or sweets… For adults, being “tempted” generally means doing things that are forbidden by the law.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the Gospel, there is a direct link between Jesus’ temptation and his baptism. This is why, in the Bible, temptation is about “faith” in God. The real temptation is linked to “baptism”, it’s a temptation that concerns believers, the temptation of the “sons of God”. It is the temptation that Jesus asks us to overcome when we recite the prayer of “Our Father” every day. We must understand that human life on earth is a life of struggle (Job 7:1). Aware of our weakness, let’s take care not to enter into temptation, let’s pray and let’s avoid opportunities to be tempted.<\/em><\/p>\n
