The Weekly Homily with Father Bill Moisant

Into The Desert

Matthew’s Gospel recounts Jesus led by the Spirit into the desert, fasting for forty days and resisting three temptations—bread, pride, and worldly power—by quoting Scripture, after which angels minister to him.

The homily explains Matthew’s portrayal of Jesus as the new Adam and emphasizes that temptation often comes from within: the desires for power, prestige, and possessions. It calls listeners to use Lent to examine these tendencies and rely on God’s life within them to grow in generosity and service.
