Homily and Video, First Sunday in Lent, March 9, 2025

As Christ was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil, we too should anticipate temptation.  As Christ endured the temptations which He faced, in His power, we too should triumph over our temptations.  What are some practical steps to overcoming temptation?

1. Recognize the spiritual battle and commit to fighting against our temptations so that we do not give in to sin
2. Determine to know God through His Word and through worship.  We must have a strong relationship with God.
3. Learn to rely on the grace found in His Body – both the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, but also upon our fellow believers with whom we live and worship.
