About this listen

This episode opens the sacred season of Lent by recounting Christ’s forty days in the desert, where he fasted, prayed, and endured three temptations.

It explains the symbolic meaning of forty and how the three temptations represent the enemies of the soul—the flesh, the world, and the Devil—and shows Christ’s faithful responses to each.

The sermon urges the faithful to practice prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as means of purification and cooperation with grace, warning against seeking human praise or presuming on mercy.

Listeners are invited to enter the desert with Christ, repent, be transformed, and rise with him at Easter, with a final invocation of confidence in the Blessed Virgin’s intercession.
