Lent is time to restore our spiritual health. To stay away from devil temptations, such as that we can replace God, which leads us to selfisness, hate, cruelty, division. That we will think that we are better than others, that we are beyond good and evil.
At list one time in our life, we must feel a profound sense that we are sinners. We are creatures not the Creature, to understand the difference between Divinity and humanity between us and Him.
Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert. Desert is not a romantic place. Jesus won against the devil by praying which is the energy of our soul and by being faithful to the Father, and by understanding that unity with God is the most important thing.
Jesus wants that we will live in peace, generosity, and love. Jesus asks to take us back to paradise, while the devil wants that we will live in loneliness and alienation in a spiritual desert.
To say that we believe in Jesus is to put Him at the center of our life. We are called to live according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is far more than repeating the words that we have faith in Christ. The Lord wants from us unity of Heart and Words.
