3/10/19: 1st Sunday of Lent: The Importance of the Trials and Temptations of Life

Jesus's being led into the trial of the desert where he faced temptation shed light on our own experience of the tests of our life, especially as we realize that it was the Holy Spirit that drives Jesus there. It is God's will for Jesus that he be tested: Both as a proof of Jesus's strength and virtue but also as a preparation for his battling Satan throughout his life. So it is for us and our own tests and trials in life.
