That is why he recommended following Christ's example of how to endure temptation.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The pope said it is good to reflect on the three temptations because there is so much at stake: each person's dignity.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> This was the pope's last public event before leaving for the outskirts of Rome to start several days of spiritual exercises, along with the rest of the Roman Curia.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 11th, 2019.

\n'The temptation to 'possess' - have, have, have \u2013 and human glory and the instrumentalization of God. They are three paths that will lead us to perdition.'<\/em><\/p>\n
\n'Jesus, when he responds to the tempter, does not engage in dialogue. He responds to the three challenges only with the Word of God. . It shows us the remedies: interior life, faith in God and the certainty of His love.'<\/em><\/p>\n
\n'Personal dignity can be lost if we allow ourselves to be corrupted by the idols of money, success and power, in order to achieve self-assertion.'<\/em><\/p>\n
