A TEMPLATE FOR OUR TEMPTATIONS

This homily, based on Luke 4:1-13, was delivered at St. Agnes Catholic Church.

We must concede: The devil is one shrewd creature. As we see in today’s Gospel, he is a true master at his craft, with great timing and equally great strategy. The devil knows exactly when to show up and understands exactly which carrot to dangle before our eyes. And he’s relentless, too–even when his target is no less than the Son of God.
