Bem-aventurados os mansos, porque eles herdarão a terra; Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça, porque eles serão fartos; Bem-aventurados os misericordiosos, porque eles alcançarão misericórdia; Bem-aventurados os limpos de coração, porque eles verão a Deus; Bem-aventurados os pacificadores, porque eles serão chamados filhos de Deus; Bem-aventurados os que sofrem perseguição por causa da justiça, porque deles é o reino dos céus; Bem-aventurados sois vós, quando vos injuriarem e perseguirem e, mentindo, disserem todo o mal contra vós por minha causa.(Mt.5)

THE SON OF GOD AND OUR BROTHER WANTS TO SAVE US

THE SON OF GOD AND OUR BROTHER WANTS TO SAVE US
 According to Mark, Jesus, once baptized, goes to the desert to face the enemy of humanity. There will be proved and verified in the deepest of his obedience to the will of the Father. The Evangelist Matthew adds the following: "The Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." The Spirit is the one who leads Jesus to be tempted. Certainly, with this, one has the goal of victory as a new Adam and as the new Israel. In other words, it is about the emergence of a new humanity, or, rather, of the humanity thought by God from the beginning. The whole life of Jesus is guided by the Spirit of God even for the ordeal. Once anointed in baptism, Jesus needed, in his humanity, to pass through the trials of Adam and Israel in the wilderness, for in Him was the liberation of mankind represented in Adam and deliverance from Israel, who often turned their backs on the Lord. Jesus will face the ancient Serpent, Satan, and will reveal to the world the fulfillment of the Father's will. Through Him, mankind and Israel have become faithful to the design of God, giving the true YES demanded by the Lord. In Jesus Christ, the Father met humanity and His people.
2. "Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights, and thereafter he was hungry." There was no personal need for Jesus to practice jejun, but there was a need that was required by mankind. It is known that fasting allows one to make him reflect on his own limitations (in this sense he fights his pride); discover the need of the other (teaches solidarity); to stimulate communion with God (not only does man live by bread); and boost the practice of charity. It is necessary first of all to be conscious of one's faith, determined in charity, open to hope, so that one can reap the benefits of fasting; must have an essential horizon, a goal to be achieved, a will to achieve in God. Having all this in mind and the greater good for all, Jesus immersed himself in the desert dynamics of Sacred Scripture, and in the symbolic forty days, a propitious time for a sublime inner victory signified by Moses on the mountain (Ex. 34,28), also by Elijah on Mount Horeb (1 Kings 19: 8), and for the forty years of Israel in the wilderness. Forty days, concretely speaking, is the time it takes for someone to overcome any addiction. Take the test: meditating on the Word of God, putting yourself in constant prayer, practicing charity, and refraining from doing wrong.
3. The desert is the place of the "demons" and the formation of the people of God. Here is a reference to the internal struggles that we must fight within ourselves. It takes courage to counter everything that is contrary to God's will. "Our demons" are all those things that animalize us, imprison us to the flesh, to the world, to matter, to the visible, to the here and now. Satan acts, serving himself as a "hook", placing in him what is most palpable to us, so that, irresistibly, we fall into his trap. Israel fell on the devil's plans, blasphemed God, and still wanted to return to slavery in Egypt. Yes, the devil tries to make us think that accomplishment is enough for us here. Divine about our future: the glory of God, the eternal communion. With great reasoning instills in us the idea that a heaven of glory is inululent if there is so much misery on earth. With this, he can, in many ways, eliminate the future thought of God, making them slaves of a matter without tomorrow. In this idea were born her children: the Enlightenment, materialism, communism, Marx's ideas, atheism, many reflections of liberation theology, radical feminist theology and the thinking of many today, based on principles of a humanity without God. It is necessary to shift against the animal within ourselves and against the idea that we will only be human if we are rational. Man without God uses his intelligence to live in dependence on two wills: that of the instinct itself and that of the devil.
4. In Jesus we have been victorious, we have learned how to overcome and we discover our future and the Kingdom in which we are to live.
