Fr. Scott Steinkerchner, OP breaks open the readings for the first Sunday of Lent, Jesus being led out through the wilderness for forty days to be tempted by the devil. The forty days serve as a chance for Jesus to solidify his faith so that he can easily resist the snares of the devil. May our Lenten journeys do the same.
Readings: Deuteronomy 26:4–10; Romans 10:8–13; Luke 4:1–13
