leisure time; the Devil entices us to use this time not for the Lord, but for debauchery.
God gives us the miracle of medical science in the service of life; the Devil persuades us that we ourselves are the masters — not the ministers — of human life.
One of the reasons the Lord allowed the Devil to tempt Him in the desert was to teach us howr to resist the temptation to be like gods. It comes with a simple declaration, repeating the w'ords of the Lord: “Begone, Satan! It is written; “The Lord your God shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.” We are not gods. Only God is God. And only God is good.
True greatness is measured by our participation in God’s goodness. God wants us to freely choose him in love. When we choose God and recognize His dominion, we discover not only what it means to be good, but also the great love God has for us. And when we discover God’s love, we learn to love others in the same way. This is our true dignity. It is a dignity that even the Devil is unable to imitate or destroy.
Father Pokorsky is the priest assigned to St. Peter’s Catholic Church.
