In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast, Fr. Rob and Fr. George Elliot discuss the temptations of Jesus in the Desert. The temptations of Jesus give us an understanding of how Christ experienced every facet of the human life, except sin. These temptations are also an example of how we handle our own temptations. We are called to remember that we are not alone in our temptations and that we are to unite them with Jesus. When we do so, he will help us conquer our temptations and lead us into a deeper relationship with him. Fr. Rob and Fr. George also explain how Christ’s divine life lives within us since the moment of baptism. So, therefore, in each of our temptations, Christ experiences the very same we do.
Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George Elliot discussed repentance as a way of life. This means that repentance is a life long journey by which we are sorrowful to God for our actions and we are met with his mercy. Lent is the time of year where our call to repent to meet God’s mercy is most prevalent. Though, this does not mean we are not in need of mercy or repentance the rest of the year.
