Jesus' Temptations

There were three temptations that Jesus expierenced in the desert. First the "devil" asks Jesus to turn stones into bread. The second he tells him to throw himself down from a high point of the temple and have God catch him. And finally, to fall at the feet of the devil and worship him. Today in society, a young person has many temptations. Like Jesus, they are tempted to do things that are wrong, and that they know they should not do. Some people give in to these temptations, however others, with the help of God, can overcome the temptations just like Jesus did in the desert.

Blessed Emilian Kovch

After learning about many of the saints from our "Saints Alive" project, I have learned about the many people that have changed our world through the good of God. One that caught my attention was Blessed Emilian Kovch. Kovch sacrificed his life to save innocent Jews in a concentration camp. What inspired me the most was that Kovch was a priest who protected Jews during the Holocaust. When he learned that they were being captured and sent to concentration camps, Kovch began baptizing them as Catholics. He was arrested and sent to a concentration camp where he died in one of the gas chambers. Kovch immitated Jesus in that he sacrificed his own life for others.
