Recently, I’ve been reading Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. Lewis is famous for carefully explaining Christianity. He lays out arguments about morality, human nature, and what they might suggest about God. For someone who likes reasoning things out, it’s comforting. It makes faith feel a little sturdier.

In a seriously convoluted (and miraculous) series of circumstances, I joined a Christian a cappella group last fall. My debut song was one I heard every Good Friday growing up, often set to the crucifixion scene from The Passion of the Christ. Our church elders would often warn parents with young children to politely remove themselves from the sanctuary due to the graphic content (which, in my opinion, is precisely what makes Mel Gibson’s film so powerful).

Since being recommended to me by a friend, T.S. Eliot’s poem The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock echoes in my brain like voices shouting in a cave.

While many Lenten writings focus on what the season should mean, or how we should approach our attitude or actions during Lent, I would like to focus on the story that inspires this liturgical season: Jesus’ temptation in the desert. The three different temptations of Jesus represent the most alluring and detrimental temptations posed to humans throughout our lives. To this end, I would like to analyze the second temptation - one which I currently find the most poignant.

Lent is meant to be a season of preparation and transformation—preparation for the transformation that has already occurred in the Easter miracle. As Christians, we can be very methodical about it: choose a fast (no more chocolate!), give designated alms, recommit to a present prayer life, etc. Honestly, too methodical. Transformation is never comfortable, but I worry our Lenten seasons often are.
