Going Deeper This Lent

About this sermon

This gospel is like an onion; it has multi layers. We'll look at three layers. First is the fact of penance. Just what we see; we see fasting and it's not fun. Secondly, we see a purpose to Christ's fasting! A result is wanted by the penance: our salvation, preparation for Easter, rid ourselves of a vice etc. thirdly, yet there is even a deeper dimension to this passage and it is not to look for signs nor rewards but simply to console Christ. It says there at the end of the Gospel passage that an angel came to minister unto Christ after His forty day fast. Hopefully by our fasts and works of piety we too can console His heart.
