Homily 310 – Three Weapons Against Our Three Enemies – 1st Sunday of Lent

As we begin the season of Lent, we see Jesus go out into the desert to be tempted. There he encounters the same enemies that you and I face every day: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Jesus is victories, and we can be too. Today’s homily looks at the three traditional weapons the Church gives us to fight these enemies: prayer, fasting, and alms-giving.
