This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the rosary.

Welcome to our rosary meditation.

We are meditating on the life of Jesus so we can have a deeper friendship with him. Today, the temptation of Jesus in the desert,

which in turn unveils our own temptations.

So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

The first temptation of the devil is to turn our priorities upside down to get them out of order.

The devil says to Jesus, if you are the son of God, tell these stones to turn into bread.

Jesus responds,

Man does not live by bread alone, but by listening to God.

Jesus says the top priority is a relationship with God, talking to him from the heart, listening to him and just spending time with him, then everything else will fall into place.

But the devil says no, that's totally unrealistic.

You've got to take care of your material responsibilities first, because no one

else will take care of you. And then you have to make sure you take care of your health, because

if you lose your health, you have nothing left. And oh, don't forget that you need downtime,

time to veg and rest.

You need entertainment.

You'll always have time for God later.

That's the temptation of the devil. Do we fall into this trap? Do we take care of

the tyranny of the urgent and leave God for later?

And when we do this, are we really happy?

Are we more at peace, more content?
