Temptation: The real battle of Lent

In episode three of Extraordinary Time, Father Matthew Walter of the Diocese of Rochester shares how “The Silent Planet” book series by C.S. Lewis can help illustrate the Gospel passage of Luke 4:1-13, which describes the temptation of Jesus. Father Walter shares how temptation is in many ways the real “battle” of Lent and reflects on how to resist temptation.

Candidates and catechumens participating in the adult initiation process in the Diocese of Rochester will gather at Sacred Heart Cathedral March 9 for the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion. Stay tuned for coverage at https://catholiccourier.com/special-sections/lent-and-easter/.
