Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
540
Jesus’ temptation reveals the way in which the Son of God is Messiah, contrary
to the way Satan proposes to him and the way men wish to attribute to
him.244 This is why Christ vanquished the Tempter for us: “For we
have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one
who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sinning.”245
By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the
mystery of Jesus in the desert.
