First Sunday of Lent, 2017 - Tempted?

We carry many crosses in our lives, and temptation is among them. Temptation is simply taking the shortcut - pursuing the crown without the cross. Our first parents did exactly that and, like us, when they realized their sin they attempted to cover themselves. They forgot in their quest to become like God that they already were as, like us, their were created in the the image and likeness of God. So, how does one confront temptation? Hint: Consider how Jesus did it.
