Something that Jesus had not experienced for thirty years. He lost the advantage of his home environment earlier. That’s when we „ fell“ from the sky because of us. Today, it will only be confirmed. We find him in the desert, where he waits for a Landlord“, who would also like to win the Son of God on his side.

Even believers do not have the advantage of a home environment in society. The voice of faith is not a defining theme in many areas. There is no need to cry over it because, in such an environment, the vitality and creativity of today’s Christians are verified.

Jesus will describe his lifelong attitude, which we still see today, during the final walk to Jerusalem with these words: „ Listen well and remember what I tell you: The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men.“ Marriage is associated with adventure. It was experienced by everyone who went to the open sea instead of swimming ten meters from the shore. Or the one who, even in old age, goes to education because he realizes what he doesn’t know…

We also see the marriage in the dying Pope Francis. It was released when he left the safe environment of Buenos Aires twelve years ago. During that time, he never visited his native country.

We also see Francis’ allegiance in media attacks from the right and left, most recently from American politicians, when he prophetically commented on their behavior towards immigrants. „ Leaves the poor to pay the bill for uneven distribution. This is not how things are solved,“ we read in his letter.

We see Francis’ marriage live today when it is in the hands of Roman doctors. His last whispered words so far are not lamentation of diseases or resignation. We see in them his gratitude and love.

We also remember the attacks against him from within the Church when he started new processes that responded to the signs of the times—such as the concept of a field hospital, the synodal process, and attracting people on the peripheries to the faith. Likewise, we remember his encouragement in Bratislava not to look at the world from Bratislava Castle but to become the leaven of our streets.

Likewise, we see his extradition live today when it is in the hands of Roman doctors. His last whispered words so far are not lamentation of diseases or resignation. We see in them his gratitude and love.

The second temptation is the suggestion to which elite Christian communities are subject ( schools, movements, sororities), which, in their arrogance, could succumb to the illusion that they are spiritual enough that they can also use spiritual abuse techniques.

The third step is to unmask the lie that we know truth and goodness well and that we need to defend them at all costs—even by force and by forcing others to do so.

Salesian Ladislav Heryán, in the book Exot Alphabet, sees this in the attitude of people who have cut corners on several occasions on what Jesus will do. According to him, they are still among us today.

„Some people wait for every word they could grab a person by. Or for an attitude that could make them reject him. It is enough to comment on something somewhere, be photographed somewhere, and write a person off forever.

We will cut so that we are not caught or exposed. We will cut because we do not wish the other what we do not have ourselves, perhaps his inner freedom,“ adds a long-haired priest, biblical scholar, and musician.
