Second Sunday of Lent

2010-02-28

Today’s homily is based on Gn 15:5-12,17-18; Ps 27; Phil 3:17—4:1; Lk 9:28b-36.

Through reflecting on the readings over the past weeks we’re reminded that temptation is really a dis-ordered desire for something that is otherwise good. The difference lies in whether we’re using the varied gifts of God to further His kingdom or merely to satisfy our own desires. The discernment takes place when we recognize and accept truth no matter where it happens to land in our lives.
