Resuming the question of the battle against temptations, Pope Francis recalled that after Baptism in the Jordan, the Lord retired to the desert, where Satan tried to seduce him. “Why should the Son of God know temptation?” asked the Pope, to respond: “Jesus is in solidarity with our fragile human nature.”
Thus, he experienced what the Christian must face: “life is made of challenges, tests, crossroads, opposing visions, hidden seductions, contradictory voices.”
