    BEHOLD SATAN WILL SIFT YOU LIKE WHEAT.

    “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat,  but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22: 31 - 32).

    Sunday 10th April 2022 is Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.

    We remember Christ's Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem to accomplish His mission through the Cross.

    Just as Satan was given permission to sift Job like wheat, Satan has again been given permission to sift Simon Peter. Yes. To sift you and me like wheat. Our most merciful Savior and Teacher has prayed for us and has given us a cheat sheet to pass this test.

    “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not undergo the test.” Jesus said. (Luke 22: 46).
    Your cheat sheet from the Master is: STOP SLEEPING AND PRAY.

    Jesus taught that Prayer is a vital necessity. While Jesus never taught that we WORK Always,  Jesus asks us to pray always. St Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church teaches that a Christian who does not pray is lost. A Christian who does not pray will not experience miracles. Of course the most merciful heart of Abba Father succours His children always. But only those who pray recognize these silent miracles. One of the signs of a dying faith is cessation of prayer in Christian life.  The Christian who does not pray cannot overcome temptations. He has a wide open door for Satan to tempt him in all sorts of ways.

    Through the power of Prayer, Jesus is strengthened in His inner self and ready to embrace the will of His Father during His temptations, especially in His agony in the Garden.

    "Father, if this chalice cannot pass without my drinking it, your will be done." (Matthew 26: 42).
