Your brother, Kenneth Thompson. When at the beginning of the next season, we hear this rosary official, now as the paper will turn, now as the day of salvation, I wonder what these words bring to our mind when we hear the paper will turn, the day of salvation, I think it is deeply human. When the human mind and the human imagination start working, any picture will be called a good time. A time in which the pocket mind, the body of man, is carried by the strength of the sun, the light that clears the earth. Where a blue heaven, blue skies might still be, where things are ready for the feast.

[01:07]

That seems to me is the good time, the favorite time, the time of sunbaking. But usually, why we practice this verse so late in it, hides us a totally different situation. There's the sky, and there are clouds, and there's the rain, and there's the snow. There's not a woman around. And our hearts, for this reason or that, can be rather dumb. And we listen to the epistles. And we ask ourselves what kind of time St. Paul had of it, when it was really bad. When he speaks about obedience, when he speaks about fasting, when he speaks about all those times in which he was exposed. And if we go to the Gospel,

[02:11]

Then again we ask ourselves, now is it? The stable retires, is this the day of salvation? Isn't it very strange that after our Lord had gone down the Jordan River, we have Christ and have hope? And then the Holy Spirit would seize upon him, and the Holy Spirit would, as it says in the Greek text, seize him and throw him out into the desert. And then in the desert, while he's sitting there, it seems that the devil is taking over. Again in wonder, is this a favorable time? Is this a time of salvation? Where the devil receives the power to take the solid man here and there and to tend him subjected to his evil suggestion.

[03:14]

And he seems to be the devil into his hand. And still, all this is really and truly a day of salvation. But how? Let us look at the beginning of the goal of temptation which is exposed. And we realize that whatever our Lord did, he did for us. Whatever we suffer, we suffer for us. And therefore, we also can take it for granted that these temptations to which he himself was exposed are the ones which are decisive for all the world and which, in a mysterious way, simply are a part, a part of the fatal reply of the day of salvation. And when we look at these three

[04:16]

Then they seek first of all what was. It's in the external setting, how it was in the desert. In the desert is that part of the earth which is not touched by rain, which is just as God was seeing the blessing from God, just not seeing the clouds go and send it raining down. It is therefore the lover that led completely to his sin. As there are a lot too at the end of these four days. He was led to his sin. That means he got to feel his hunger. He got to realize the human condition. began to realize his complete weakness, higher his distress.

[05:21]

He was at the lowest possible point. And in that moment, the devil approaches And he puts these three possibilities as a clear point. He says, if you are the Son of God, you know, I should take it for granted that you are the Son of God, because after your baptism, there you know, proclaim, this is my God, the Son of God, the world of your kingdom come. So if you are the Son of God, then, In your step, use the power that that gives to you and change these thoughts into prayer. Use the power that you have assumed. Use the power that is viewed, that you have received, that is owned. The second is there in this strategy of heaven.

[06:28]

The second possibility opens to the heavens. Now, if you don't want to do this, you don't want to use your power that you have, and I saw the artful, it was said. Now then, trust in the power that your enemy power will assist you with. Trust. And if you're throwing yourself down on that, that takes you to the temple. And the temple is the place, worship, the temple is the place of the presence of God for all the guys. The temple is therefore the place where the Pope naturally would go for his assistance at his part. So, throw yourself down. But this too our Lord did not do. So he did not, as the son of Abraham, he did not use the power that he had.

[07:33]

He also did not rely on his very father. And so for his name now, I, I wish. No, it's not the question anymore about the sun. No, not there. I wish. Because all this work has been given into my power. And therefore, just acknowledge this my power. And just teach for me what you evidently don't have in yourself as a child. which you evidently don't precede, what has marvellous alibi, just in vice. These are the temptations to which every Christian is exposed, and especially in times of distress. And that is why the Church puts the two days for us at the beginning of a time of joy, the beginning of a time of fasting, at the beginning of a time where we feel the whole weight of winter, of the coldness of Easter, and when we are therefore in a very special way, thrown back into the heart's grave.

[09:00]

And there is hope and warmth How let one way inflection, that we, as, after all, are sons of God, are we not created as the, as the owners of this universe? Is Adam this man not the king of this creation? Therefore, why not use our power, all the righteousness, to away with God, to away with God? We rely upon our strengths, and we organize this group. The same temptation. The temptation you may call it of materialism. Man leans from bread alone. This is temptation of emancipation. We hire those ones who are resourceful. You're the one who has the temptation, maybe.

[10:03]

And they did get there by meditation. For people who deal with religion, they attention to the things of the spirit. And they are impacted by the devil. Why if you believe in the spirit, if you believe in God, why then have you to suffer? why don't you receive the assistance of heaven? And if this neither work nor work, and I say the systematic reply on yourself, nor you receive assistance of God, they do the only thing that is logical, and that the things of this world And he has made you go out of power. Surrender yourself to power.

[11:07]

And try to revolve the national world on the level not of sterling, not of rushing, not of power. And that is, for us, the critical situation, the critical temptations to which we are exposed. Let us answer these temptations then. In the spirit of this papal tongue, let us take this trial which is really a test. So there comes a day of suffering. And how is that? There is only one way, and that is to live our lives truly as sons of God, as children of God. But in what way that we would lie or believe our truth and love our Heavenly Father and trust in His love for us?

[12:13]

Any situation in which we are, any time, all the circumstances, Of this world, every moment of history for that matter is acceptable day over time and day of separation, because it is completely in the hands of our everything. There's two letters to the one thing, the first thing that makes us children of songs and children of God, and that is called the God of Israel. You will realize that there is the one thing the devil does not have of the Son of God, that is, to learn to let him be our friend. For that is the first thing that we see during today's story. He will walk.

[13:14]

And then I will be here. And I will be with him. And I will be with my glory. And I will give him the name of the Lord. That way is another idea leading thee into God. Because this day of salvation, that we call a day, there are only forty days. And forty days always leads but our Lord and Holy Spirit of God in little time. In little time. We rise our wings of faith into the love of our Heavenly Father. He covers us with his wings and fills us with blame. And then it is the day of salvation. Then it is the day of salvation. Then it is the day of salvation.

[14:18]

But this day of salvation, when we advance, and then we must be able to see things already now. So let us again, when we look forward to the 50 days, which end with the descent of the focus of the Spirit upon the church, let us think that today, when we enter into the desert, into that earth, Then let us accept the law of despair, fruitless. And it is under the domination of the devil. Let us remember that also to them. We ask Christ, how did they find us still? Even to this day. So that we know we are already not. without the slightest doubt that these 40 days of testing are already in sight of the real and true beginning of eternal salvation.

[15:31]

Because we today call upon our Heavenly Father and He says to us, Amen.
