Pope Francis: Christian life 'is a battle against the spirit of evil'

Vatican City, Feb 21, 2021 / 05:35 am MT (CNA).- Like Jesus was tempted by Satan in the desert, Christians must be prepared to battle evil, knowing that “with faith, prayer, and penance,” the victory is as-sured. In his weekly Angelus address, the pope reflected on the day’s Gospel reading from St. Mark, which says “the Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert, and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Sa-tan.” During these 40 days, which take place immediately after Christ’s baptism, “the ‘duel’ between Jesus and the devil begins, which will end with the Passion and the Cross,” Francis said Feb. 21. “Christ’s entire ministry is a struggle against the Evil One in its many manifestations: healing from illnesses, exorcising the possessed, forgiving sins. A fight.” “Every year, at the beginning of Lent, this Gospel of the temptations of Jesus in the desert reminds us that the life of the Christian, in the footsteps of the Lord, is a battle against the spirit of evil,” he under-lined. “It shows us that Jesus willingly faced the Tempter, and defeated him; and at the same time it reminds us that the devil is granted the possibility of acting on us too, with his temptations,” he added. According to Pope Francis, “we must be aware of the presence of this astute enemy, who seeks our eter-nal condemnation, our failure, and prepare to defend ourselves against him and to combat him. The grace of God assures us, with faith, prayer and penance, of our victory over the enemy.” “The desert is the place where God speaks to the heart of the human person, and where the answer to prayer flows,” he explained. “That is, the desert of solitude, the heart detached from other things and alone, in that solitude, opens itself to the Word of God.” Satan may try to take advantage of our weaknesses and our needs with his lying voice, Francis said, but “we are called to walk in God’s footsteps, renewing our Baptismal promises: renouncing Satan, and all his works and all his empty promises.”

El Papa en el Ángelus: "Meteos esto en la cabeza: con el diablo jamás se dialoga"

En el Primer Domingo de Cuaresma, el Santo Padre reflexiona sobre el desierto donde Jesús se retiró

durante cuarenta días y fue tentado por Satanás: “No se trata de un lugar físico, sino de una dimensión existen-

cial en la que hacer silencio y ponernos a la escucha de la palabra de Dios”. Además, advierte de los peligros

de entrar en diálogo con el diablo: "si entramos en dialogo seremos vendidos". El Papa se ha centrado precisa-

mente en este entorno natural “el desierto” para explicar que se trata del lugar “donde Dios habla al corazón

del hombre, y donde brota la respuesta de la oración”. “Pero – dice – es también el lugar de la prueba y la ten-

tación, donde el Tentador, aprovechando la fragilidad y las necesidades humanas, insinúa su voz engañosa,

alternativa a la de Dios”. “El tentador seduce” ha puntualizado.

Francisco subraya que durante los cuarenta días vividos por Jesús en el desierto comienza el "duelo"

entre Jesús y el diablo, que terminará con la Pasión y la Cruz: “Todo el ministerio de Cristo es una lucha con-

tra el Maligno en sus múltiples manifestaciones: curaciones de enfermedades, exorcismos de los endemonia-

dos, perdón de los pecados. Es una lucha. Después de la primera fase en la que Jesús demuestra que habla y

actúa con el poder de Dios, parece que el diablo prevalezca cuando el Hijo de Dios es rechazado, abandonado

y finalmente capturado y condenado a muerte”. Francisco asegura que “pareciera que el vencedor es el dia-

blo”, pero en realidad – señala – “la muerte era el último "desierto" a atravesar para derrotar definitivamente a

Satanás y liberarnos a todos de su poder”. El Papa Francisco después se ha parado en un punto que considera

sumamente importante y es que Jesús “nunca conversa con el diablo”: “en su vida Jesús jamás mantuvo un

dialogo con el diablo, jamás, o lo expulsa de los endemoniados o lo condena pero jamás el dialogo”. Pero –

dice - en el desierto “parece que hay un dialogo porque” el diablo le hace propuestas y Jesús no responde con

sus palabras, “jamás”, sino que “responde con la Palabra de Dios, con tres pasajes de la escritura” y esto – se-

ñala – es válido también para todos nosotros: “cuando se acerca el seductor y comienza a seducirnos, piensa en

esto, haz aquello, la tentación es hablar con él, como hizo Eva” dice Francisco. “Eva – continúa – entró en dia-

logo y si nosotros entramos en dialogo seremos vendidos”. “Meteos esto en la cabeza: con el diablo jamás se

dialoga. No hay dialogo posible, solo la Palabra de Dios”.

A Prayer for the Idaho Catholic Appeal Lord God, source of everything we are and have. We know that whatever you give us is to be shared with others in our families, our parishes, our communities and the world. Through the Idaho Catholic Appeal, your Church provides for us a way to be good stewards of what you have given to us. As we consider how much we should give, help us to be generous and joyful, and help our Diocese to use wisely our offering so

that the work of Redemption of your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, can be accomplished in our parishes, our Diocese , our nation and throughout the world. Amen.
