In this episode of Franciscan Fridays, Brother Pius and Father Luke explore spiritual combat, temptation, and the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. Why does God allow temptation, and how can resisting it actually make us holier? In this episode of Franciscan Fridays, Brother Pius and Father Luke reflect on the Temptation of Christ in the Desert, a powerful moment that follows Jesus’ Baptism and deepens our understanding of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. Recorded at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima (Blue Army Shrine) in New Jersey, this conversation draws from Sacred Scripture, the Desert Fathers, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Padre Pio, and St. Augustine to explore spiritual combat, virtue, grace, and God’s long game in our salvation. Topics include: • Why temptation is not sin • How resisting temptation strengthens virtue • Padre Pio’s famous “soap” analogy • God’s grace at work in spiritual battles • Healing temptation through both spiritual and psychological means • Why falling doesn’t mean failure in the Christian life Whether you’re struggling with recurring temptations or seeking deeper prayer through the Rosary, this episode offers hope, wisdom, and encouragement. 00:00 – Temptation and the Soul 00:20 – Welcome to Franciscan Fridays 00:53 – The Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima Explained 02:00 – The Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary 02:28 – The Temptation of Christ in the Desert 03:10 – Why Temptation Matters Spiritually 03:27 – The Desert Fathers & Spiritual Combat 04:13 – Giving In vs Resisting Temptation 05:09 – Padre Pio’s Soap Analogy 05:55 – Does God Lead Us Into Temptation? 06:45 – Spiritual Warfare & Human Weakness 07:19 – Virtue Grows Through Resistance 08:12 – God’s Long Game With Evil 09:13 – Avoiding the Near Occasion of Sin 10:12 – Getting Up After Falling 11:19 – Pride, Confession, and Healing 12:22 – Trauma, Therapy, and the Spiritual Life 13:29 – Final Encouragement & Blessing 🙏 Subscribe, like, and comment to help grow Franciscan Fridays 📿 Let us know what topics you’d like us to cover next The World Apostolate of Fatima is the Vatican’s official voice in proclaiming the authentic message of Our Lady of Fatima.
