Sunday Bible Study - The Inner Life - March 7, 2025

Father Matthew Spencer joins Patrick for a Sunday's Bible Study (1:55) what is the context of Sunday’s Gospel? What should we listen for in today’s readings? What attitude should we have when we read the words of God? Father reads Sunday’s Gospel according to Luke. (20:55) Break 1 Maureen - It struck me that in there it says Jesus was there for 40 days and it said he was hungry. Thought it was because he was away from God and was hungry for God and not just for bread. (26:24) Dan - How did the devil give all the power. They're saying I can give you all of this. How did he get so powerful? (38:16) Break 2 Mira - Why do we say lead us not into temptation when we say the prayer?  You were talking about temptation and we use that in our prayer. (42:39) Beth - Where does the evil one get his power...my thought was can we not blame ourselves for giving power to the devil? (45:16) What is the connection with Jesus’ temptations in the desert and Israel’s wondering in the desert?
