Tim Francis prepared this educational program to help you increase your faith and love for the Holy Trinity and our Blessed Mother. His website is http://YouShallBelieve.com
I have known Tim for many years and recommend his work highly. He is a strong advocate for the “The Real Body and Blood Of Jesus” and the numerous miracles that occur on a daily basis. Both of us are greatly inspired by the amazing writings of Catalina Rivas.
Catalina is one of the few individuals in history who personally experienced the “Stigmata Of Jesus Christ.” The video below was broadcast on FOX TV.
Gospel Luke 4:1-13
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, One does not live on bread alone.” Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant.
The devil said to him, “I shall give to you all this power and glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. All this will be yours, if you worship me.” Jesus said to him in reply, “It is written: You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.” Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you, and: With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Jesus said to him in reply,“It also says, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.” When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
Paragraph 566 – III. The Mysteries of Jesus’ Public Life
The temptation in the desert shows Jesus, the humble Messiah, who triumphs over Satan by his total adherence to the plan of salvation willed by the Father.
From “Door to Heaven” Testimony of Catalina Rivas (DH6:7)
7) I lived for you a human life; I suffered a human death; I experienced human temptations. What you live, I lived too. The manner in which My Angels waited for Me is the same way in which My Angels will wait for each one of you. This is why I bless those who listen to My Word and surrender to the truth, because they are wise.
Each week we will be presenting a portion of the following Sunday’s readings, and linking it to a relevant portion of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and also to a message from the Testimony of Catalina. Pay special attention to the italicized underlined sections. This week we look at the temptations of Jesus. We hope this is inspiring and educational. Any comments you have are certainly welcomed.
