Where do temptations originate? Clearly the Mystical Body has pointed out that the flesh, the world and the devil are the sources of temptation. Is anyone exempt from temptation? If our Lord was tempted then His Mystical Body will be tempted as well. Temptation begins the spiritual journey of our Lord Jesus and it will be the beginning of our journey into Jesus as well. Let us consider the nature of temptation, how to deal with it and how it is rampant today.
Temptation by itself is an opportunity to prove our love for our Lord if we recognize it and either fight it or flee from it. We gain spiritual merit when we teach ourselves to
understand it and to conquer it through prayer. There are three stages to each temptation: 1) it approaches us for a decision and if we choose to fight it we merit; 2) the period of delectation in which we taste some of its pleasure and 3) the act of desire in which we choose the pleasure over the love of God. We must become lovers of God to stop temptation’s negative side (sin) immediately.
How do we deal with temptation? Our response is “devotion”, which takes the soul to the heart of God. Devotion to the Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart are strong bonds that keep us from yielding to the pleasure offered. Devotion to the Holy Ghost Who can instill in us the power to discern our weaknesses and strengthen us with wisdom from on high. Temptation is a spiritual reality and must be dealt with accordingly.
Today the Gospel acts as a light for each of to understand why our Conciliar Church is falling into the deceits of Satan and will reap the fruits of death. Yes, the Novus Ordo mass is destined to die. It is certain based upon the procedure of the evil one. Let us consider the temptations of our Lord in the desert and their meaning for us today.
First, our Lord spent forty days in fasting and prayer and He was hungry. We are on the level of the senses so the flesh will be the first attack of the evil one. Remember that Jesus prior to his sojourn in the desert was baptized by John in the Jordan and a theophany took place. In that moment the dove appeared and a voice was heard: “This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.” Picking up on this identification Satan asks: “If you are the Son of God, turn these rocks into loaves of bread.”
Here Satan is telling our Lord that You have an instinct to eat. You are here to gather souls and they have instincts as well. I will tell you how to gather people; give them a freebie. People will flock to you if you give them whatever their little hearts desire. They love entitlements. Why look at the Bishops today they want entitlements through the immigration fiasco. They will use the illegals to amass fortunes in their diocesan treasuries. Our Lord rejects the salvation through the senses with the Word that is substantial. “Man does not live in bread alone but in every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.”
Satan failed with Christ but the Conciliar prelates gobbled up the rocks of Satan in their desire to have the power of this world. Now the devil takes our Lord up to the pinnacle of the temple and plays the entertainment card. Cast yourself down from here and the angels will gather you up and not a scratch will you receive. The people will see this marvel and entertained they will cry out: “Do it again! We like it.” You will be a super star and the youth will flock to you. Now every Conciliar church needs to have a committee to determine what songs to use this Sunday to keep the masses flocking to the entertainment center of the week. The Protestantize liturgy pleases the bored parishioners while the reverence of the true holy mass is neglected. Jesus must be a super star rather than a super scar.
Finally, the devil took our Lord to the highest point in this world to show Him all the glory of the various nations. “I will give you all of these if you but prostrate yourself before me.” This is how to have the masses: be a president, be a dictator, be a warlord and the people will be your possessions. You will have political power. The Conciliar Church has chosen the politics of power over the salvation of souls. There is no outrage over the millions of children slaughtered in our own country. Souls have been sold out for the price of joining a synod of old sterile sexual deviants. What has happened to the Mystical Body?
I will tell you that it has receded to the corners of society in wait for the purification of all that temptation has done to the world. The Mystical Body waits for a Sacred Soul to be raised up by God to restore the Kingship of Christ and the elevation of our Lady to the role of Queen of heaven and earth. The reign will come because the sins caused by these three temptations will yield DEATH. As our Lord recommended “Be Patient and Endure a little longer.” Carry your holy rosary, conquer all temptations and recognize what has taken place in the Church is a betrayal. Judas initiated it long ago but now our prelates have brought that betrayal to its apex and soon the humiliation of all they wanted will collapse upon them. In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
So let it be.
In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Fr. Voigt
