JESUS AND THE DEVIL

The devil tempted Jesus by quoting scripture, as today’s Gospel

reminds us. Try a self-serving miracle. Try selling out. Try dazzling the

audience; people are gullible, after all. Try all these easy ways. The

tempter tries to urge Jesus onto the slippery slope, attempts the old

soft-soap, the snake-oil solutions that are always readily at hand. The

devil knows better, but is powerless to do better, much less be better.

The devil is evil personified, who senses in Jesus the stronger, truly at-

tractive presence of holiness.

Evil is exposed and engaged, we are reminded in this Sunday’s

Gospel. Evil knows the jig is up. The undoing of lies begins with Jesus,

who takes up the work of soul-healing and world-healing. This Lent, the

Church invites us to enter into this renewing, re-creative work and be

made whole again.

“Our contribution on a local, national, and global

scale remains phenomenal even in spite of our

faults, inefficiencies, and recent scandals, and yet

the Church is despised by millions of ordinary

Americans, while most Catholics want to crawl

under the table when people start talking about

the Church in a social setting.”
