Stay in Your Lane: The Cross, Temptation, and the Grace That Saves Us

Описание: The Christian life is not lived on cruise control.

In this homily, we reflect on spiritual vigilance, temptation, and the necessity of the Cross. When Christ was tempted by the devil, He did not rely on His own strength—He responded with the Word of God. That example teaches us how to fight: not by self-reliance, but by immersion in Scripture and reliance on grace.

The road of discipleship has bumps. It must. The Cross is not optional in the Christian life. Yet our hope is inseparably tied to the Paschal Mystery—Christ’s suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension. Victory comes through surrender, not domination.

We are invited to examine our lives honestly:
Where have we drifted out of our lane?
Where have pride, appetite, distraction, or ego pulled us off course?
Through repentance and the sacraments, grace realigns us. Christ fasted for us. Christ suffered for us. Christ died for us. And through Him, we receive the strength to persevere.
