Temptation: Adam & Eve, Jesus & Mary – Feb 26 – Homily – Fr John Lawrence

 

Fr John Lawrence gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Feb 26, 2023, on the nature of temptation, comparing the temptation of Adam and Eve in the first reading and that of Christ in the Gospel where the devil tempts Jesus in the desert after fasting for 40 days, focusing on the appropriate response to temptations. He then explains the many parallels between Mary relative to Jesus and Eve relative to Adam and how Jesus is the new Adam and Mary is the new Eve.
