Psalm 23 is a psalm that describes God as a shepherd who provides for and protects his flock. The psalm is divided into two sections sung responsively by two choirs. The first choir sings of God's provision, making the psalmist lie down in green pastures and leading them to safe waters. The second choir sings of God guiding the psalmist on the right path and protecting them, even in the darkest of valleys. Both choirs sing of God preparing a table before them in the presence of enemies and God's goodness following them all the days of their lives. The psalm ends with both choirs praising God's glory.
The document discusses youth discipleship and the sacraments. It defines a disciple of Christ as someone who commits themselves to following Jesus by knowing and loving him, being selfless, obeying his teachings, praying, receiving the Eucharist, and bringing the good news of Christ to others. It also summarizes the seven sacraments, including baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, reconciliation, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and matrimony. The sacraments originate from Christ's saving actions and are visible signs that give grace when received worthily.
Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days in the wilderness, where he was tempted three times by the devil. The first temptation was to turn stones into bread to satisfy his hunger, but Jesus relied on God rather than his own power. The second temptation was to throw himself from the temple to test God, but Jesus said not to test God. The third temptation was to gain power over all the kingdoms of the world by worshipping the devil instead of God, but Jesus said to only worship and serve God. These temptations show Jesus overcoming sin and the devil by relying on God and rejecting earthly desires of fame, wealth and power in favor of doing God's will.
Jesus faced temptation from Satan during his 40 days in the wilderness after his baptism. Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread when hungry, to jump from the temple to prove God's protection, and to worship Satan in exchange for ruling the world's kingdoms. Jesus overcame these temptations by quoting Scripture, showing that God's word would guide his ministry rather than selfish or presumptuous acts. His familiarity with Scripture helped him resist Satan's temptations at the beginning of his work.
John the Baptist preached repentance in the wilderness and baptized many who confessed their sins in the Jordan River. Jesus also came to John to be baptized, saying it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness, after which the Holy Spirit descended on him. Baptism involves repentance, humility, surrender, and obedience to God.
The document describes Jesus being led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where he fasted for 40 days and was tempted by the devil. The devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread when he was hungry, bow down and worship the devil in exchange for authority over the world's kingdoms, and test God by throwing himself from the temple. Each time, Jesus responded by quoting scripture. After enduring every temptation, the devil left Jesus until a more opportune time. The document then states that Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit and his fame spread throughout the surrounding region as he taught in the synagogues.
The document describes Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. It recounts how John initially did not want to baptize Jesus but Jesus insisted it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness. At Jesus' baptism, the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove as a voice from heaven declared "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased." The baptism marked Jesus' divine appointment by God as the light to the nations and judge of the living and the dead.
