What happens when the devil quotes Scripture?On the First Sunday of Lent, we enter the wilderness with Christ in Matthew 4:1–11. This Gospel is not only about resisting temptation. It is about identity. It is about discernment. It is about how evil often disguises itself in holy language.The Spirit leads Jesus into the desert. Not for performance. Not for self improvement. For formation. In the wilderness the enemy does something unsettling. He quotes Psalm 91.This episode of Mass Prep explores why Lent begins with the question “If you are the Son of God.” It reflects on how Scripture can be misused when severed from trust. It considers why temptation often sounds spiritual, reasonable, even biblical. And it looks at how ordered worship drives confusion away and why consolation comes after obedience.Let’s prepare our hearts for Mass.
