Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

538
The Gospels speak of a time of solitude for Jesus in the desert immediately after
his baptism by John. Driven by the Spirit into the desert, Jesus remains there
for forty days without eating; he lives among wild beasts, and angels minister
to him.²⁴¹ At the end of this time Satan tempts him three times,
seeking to compromise his filial attitude toward God. Jesus rebuffs these
attacks, which recapitulate the temptations of Adam in Paradise and of Israel
in the desert, and the devil leaves him “until an opportune
time”.²⁴²
