This week's gospel is about Jesus' temptation in the desert. What do we learn from Jesus about how to face temptation? Fr George Bowen offers St John Henry Newman's reflections on Week 1 of our Lent Retreat with Newman.

Each week, Fr George will guide you through the gospels of Lent, drawing on pieces of art that depict the gospel and St John Henry Newman's homilies on these gospels.
