OVERCOMING TEMPTATION THROUGH THE GRACE OF PRAYER, FASTING, AND ALMSGIVING: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: 1ST SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE A, 2023
The Lenten season is a moment of grace given to us by God through his Church´s liturgical celebrations to overcome the temptations of life through the grace of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Our temptations are what we desire or what we try to renounce. Hence, we will constantly be confronted with temptations from within us and outside us. We need grace and mercy to overcome temptations that plague us daily.
