Catholic Introduction OCIA Session 22 Scrutiny III – Strength Against Temptation (https://www.smartguy.com/) Welcome back, everyone. We’ve already walked through the first Scrutiny - healing from sin and relying on God’s mercy - and the second Scrutiny - freedom from sin and living in grace. Today, we reach the third Scrutiny, the final one before Holy Week. This Scrutiny focuses on strength against temptation. Because let’s be honest: even after Baptism, even after grace sets us free, temptation doesn’t disappear. The devil doesn’t just pack up and leave you alone. In fact, sometimes he works harder when he knows you’re drawing closer to Christ. That’s why this Scrutiny asks God not just to heal and free us, but to fortify us.
