Roger Landry and it\u2019s a privilege for me to be with you as we enter into the consequential conversation Jesus wants to have with us in this Sunday\u2019s Gospel, as we journey with Jesus into the desert at the beginning of the Lenten Season.<\/li>\n<li>Most people have no desire at all to go to the desert, certainly for no more than a brief visit. At a spiritual level, however, we should always have a great love for the desert, because the desert is what helps us to understand the 40-day pilgrimage of Lent, in which we join and imitate Jesus there and ponder the fruits of what he did. Every Lent, the same Holy Spirit whom St. Luke tells us led Jesus into the desert wants to guide us into the desert with him. Lent is meant to help us recapitulate Christ\u2019s 40 days away from everything so that we, apart from distractions, can focus on who we are, on our relationship with God and others and, with Christ\u2019s help, can confront and overcome the way that the devil seeks to distort those relations and that image.<\/li>\n<li>To go into the desert, however, is increasingly difficult for people today. We\u2019re so connected that if we are out of cell phone range we can easily feel totally lost. While the Lord is not calling us all physically to go to the Arabah, he is calling us to the state of the desert, removing ourselves as much as we can from distractions, from the television, computer, radio, newspaper, and the various things that may be fine in themselves but crowd our lives with noise so that we can\u2019t hear God and with clutter so that we can\u2019t see God. The first temptation we face each Lent is to refuse to go into the desert with Christ, to think that our Lent can be complete if, for example, all we do is give up booze and sweets. The first big hurdle is for us to hear Christ\u2019s voice from the desert saying, \u201cCome away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while\u201d (Mk 6:31).<\/li>\n<li>The next lesson we need to grasp is what is supposed to be the fruit of that time in the desert, and that leads us to this Sunday\u2019s Gospel. It\u2019s a particularly special scene, because the only way St. Luke and St. Matthew would have known about it would have been if Christ had told it to his disciples himself. No one else was there. The Lord must have opened up his heart to them about this seminal moment in his hidden life, which occurred immediately after he was baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist (Mk 1:12). The Holy Spirit led him into the huge fifteen-by-thirty-five mile desert between the mountain of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea so that he could pray to the Father about the public ministry that he was about to commence. He prayed and fasted for an incredible forty days, which obviously would have left him physically weak and famished. It was at this moment of physical weakness that the Devil came to him to tempt him. Much like God the Father had once allowed Job to be tested, the same Father allowed Jesus his Son to be tempted. In the temptations Jesus suffered and later described to his disciples, the devil brought out in a pristine form the types of temptation that Christ would undergo in his public ministry and that each of us undergoes in our lives. By focusing on how Christ responded, we, too, can learn how to receive his mercy so that we might be able to react as Jesus did.<\/li>\n<li>The first temptation was aimed right at Jesus\u2019 tremendous hunger after 40 days of eating nothing: \u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u201d the devil chortled, \u201ccommand this stone to become a loaf of Bread.\u201d When the Israelites were in the desert, Satan successfully tempted them to grumble to God to feed them (Ex 16:3ff). Satan was tempting Jesus to recapitulate the Israelites\u2019 lack of trust in God and Jesus would have nothing of it. Jesus had come to save people, to feed their most important hunger \u2014 the hunger of their souls \u2014 and Satan was trying to induce him, as Archbishop Sheen used to say, to become a baker rather than a Savior. To feed people\u2019s physical hunger would be a great way to win a crowd and become popular. Hunger is the most basic human need and the devil was tempting Christ to bribe others to follow him. But Jesus himself was already living off a greater source of food and was preparing to train disciples to seek this same celestial nutrition: \u201cMan does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.\u201d This same insight he passed on to the crowds when they were following him to have their stomachs satiated: \u201cDo not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you\u201d (Jn 6:27).<\/li>\n<li>In the second temptation, the devil presented Jesus with a vision of all the kingdoms of the world and said to him, \u201cTo you I will give their glory and all this authority \u2026 if you \u2026 will worship me.\u201d Jesus was about to announce that his kingdom was at hand, but that kingdom was going to come about not through pride and Satanic worship but through humility and the Cross. The \u201cfather of lies\u201d (Jn 8:44) was proposing a short cut, another way, an easier way. \u201cI\u2019ll give it all to you if you fall down and worship me.\u201d The devil had gotten the Israelites in the desert to succumb to this temptation to worship him in a golden calf, rather than to trust in the God with whom Moses was speaking on the mountain. But he failed with Jesus, who said to him, \u201cWorship the Lord your God, and serve him alone. The devil likewise tempts us with the pursuit of power, privilege, prestige or profit, to seek to achieve something worldly by compromising our relationship with God and his moral law, to serve the \u201cruler of this world\u201d rather than the one, true God. Jesus told his disciples about this second struggle he faced so that we could learn from him that and how we are called to worship the Lord our God and serve him alone.<\/li>\n<li>In the third temptation, the devil tried to seduce Jesus to test God the Father. Misapplying Psalm 91, he said, \u201cThrow yourself down from [this pinnacle], for it is written, \u2018He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,\u2019 and \u2018On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone\u2019 (cf. Ps 91).\u201d The devil had succeeded in getting the Israelites to test God while they were in the desert, to complain that Moses had brought them out into the desert to kill them and their children of thirst. Jesus didn\u2019t succumb to the same temptation. He replied, \u201cIt is written, \u2018Do not put the Lord your God to the test.\u2019\u201d This is the temptation to be presumptuous with God, to do things that will try to force God\u2019s hand into protecting us no matter what. The devil tries to get us to re-create our relationship with God on our terms rather than His terms; to do something reckless and then, when God doesn\u2019t seem to respond to that situation because such behavior harms us, the devil uses it to divide us even further from God. Jesus passed onto his disciples his response to the devil\u2019s temptation, so that we could make it our own: \u201cDo not put the Lord your God to the test.\u201d Rather than presumptuously throwing ourselves down from precipices, Lent is a time in which we trustingly throw ourselves up into God\u2019s outstretched merciful arms.<\/li>\n<li>The last line of Sunday\u2019s Gospel says that the Devil subjected Jesus to \u201cevery test\u201d (v. 13), but Jesus never succumbed. In the letter to the Hebrews, we learn that \u201cwe do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet never sinned\u201d (Heb 4:15). But Jesus is more than sympathetic. He went into the desert for 40 days to be tempted to show us the way to overcome temptations, by imitating him and his responses.<\/li>\n<li>Every Lent the Church, based on Jesus\u2019 words, proposes for us three ways to grow in strength against temptation: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. It calls us to enter into Jesus\u2019 prayer, Jesus\u2019 fasting, and Jesus\u2019 self-giving. As the war in Ukraine continues, conscious that diabolical evils like the Russian aggression are only expunged, as Jesus taught us, by prayer and fasting, we are called to pray as if life depends on it, because many lives do. We need to fast like the people of Nineveh for mercy, like Moses on the mountain in reparation for the sins of Israel, like Queen Esther in petition to save her people. We need to sacrifice for those under attack and those who are now refugees, through reliable international Catholic organizations like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kofc.org\/secure\/en\/donate\/ukraine.html\">Knights of\u00a0<\/a><span style=\"color: #0000ee;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #0000ee;\"><u>Columbus<\/u><\/span><\/span>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchinneed.org\/\">Aid to the Church in Need<\/a>who have extensive networks to deliver that aid through the Churches.<\/li>\n<li>On Sunday, Jesus will remind us, \u201cMan does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.\u201d He refused to change a stone into bread for the devil; but for us, his beloved flock, he will change bread into his own flesh and blood. He is the word that comes from the mouth of God and this Sunday that God wants to put that Word-made-flesh in our mouths. As we prepare to receive him, let us ask him for the graces to live this 40-day calling us to \u201ccome with him apart from the crowds to a deserted place\u201d in the most bold and holy way possible, and respond to his help to \u201cworship Him, the Lord our God, and serve Him alone.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Gospel on which the homily was based was:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-header\">\n<div class=\"address\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/luke\/4?1\">Lk 4:1-13<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-body\">\n<p>Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan<br \/>\nand was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days,<br \/>\nto be tempted by the devil.<br \/>\nHe ate nothing during those days,<br \/>\nand when they were over he was hungry.<br \/>\nThe devil said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cIf you are the Son of God,<br \/>\ncommand this stone to become bread.\u201d<br \/>\nJesus answered him,<br \/>\n\u201cIt is written, <em>One does not live on bread alone<\/em>.\u201d<br \/>\nThen he took him up and showed him<br \/>\nall the kingdoms of the world in a single instant.<br \/>\nThe devil said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cI shall give to you all this power and glory;<br \/>\nfor it has been handed over to me,<br \/>\nand I may give it to whomever I wish.<br \/>\nAll this will be yours, if you worship me.\u201d<br \/>\nJesus said to him in reply,<br \/>\n\u201cIt is written<br \/>\n<em>You shall worship the Lord, your God,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>and him alone shall you serve.<\/em>\u201d<br \/>\nThen he led him to Jerusalem,<br \/>\nmade him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cIf you are the Son of God,<br \/>\nthrow yourself down from here, for it is written:<br \/>\n<em>He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you<\/em>,<br \/>\nand:<br \/>\n<em>With their hands they will support you,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>lest you dash your foot against a stone.<\/em>\u201d<br \/>\nJesus said to him in reply,<br \/>\n\u201cIt also says,<br \/>\n<em>You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.<\/em>\u201d<br \/>\nWhen the devil had finished every temptation,<br \/>\nhe departed from him for a time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_7694\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-24064-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/3.5.22_Landry_ConCon_1.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/3.5.22_Landry_ConCon_1.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/3.5.22_Landry_ConCon_1.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/3.5.22_Landry_ConCon_1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/?powerpress_pinw=24064-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/3.5.22_Landry_ConCon_1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"3.5.22_Landry_ConCon_1.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fr.
