“Christ in the Desert,” by Ivan Kramskoi
FaithThe Good Word
Terrance Klein
If you picture a dark-winged figure tempting Jesus in the desert, you reduce the real power of evil. Why? Because you have removed the devil’s greatest advantage: the darkness of confusion.

Life does not have to be this way. You don’t have to be this way. You can begin again. All that you require has been here all along. You need only return to the mystery of your own baptism.

To live in the real, to reject illusion is to set our face toward growth and toward God.
FaithThe Word
Michael Simone, S.J.
Jesus overcame temptations to use divine grace for himself, so Christians must continue to seek God’s purpose in every gift they receive.
FaithThe Word
Michael Simone, S.J.
The transfiguration requires us to let go of our masks and let others catch a glimpse of God in us.
