Friends of the Rosary:Soon, we will begin Lent, a season that commemorates the forty days Jesus spent in the desert, enduring temptations. There, Our Lord did not engage in dialogue with the Evil One.He responded using the words of Holy Scripture, the word of God.Christ never conversed with the devil; He chased him away."When temptation comes, never talk. Close the door, close the window, close your heart. In this way we defend ourselves from this seduction," Pope Francis said."The Bible explains to us that evil does not begin in man in a clamorous way when an act is already manifest, but much earlier when one begins to fantasize about it, to nurse it in the imagination and thoughts, and ends up being ensnared by its enticements," the pope cautioned.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!
