Gen 2:7-9, 3:1-7; Rom 5:12-19; Mt 4:1-11In Greek mythology the sirens are creatures with the heads of beautiful women and the bodies of attractive birds.  They lived on an island and, with the irresistible charm of their song, they lured mariners to their destruction on the rocks surrounding their island. They sang so sweetly that all who sailed near their home in the sea were fascinated and drawn to the shore only to be destroyed.  When Odysseus, the hero in the Odyssey, passed that enchanted spot he had himself tied to the mast and put wax in the ears of his comrades, so that they might not hear the luring and bewitching strains.

To wear the shoes of others means to have a great capacity to comprehend, to understand the circumstance and difficult situations.”The Pope’s latest interview was published Feb. 28 in “Scarp de tenis,” a monthly periodical supported by Caritas Ambrosiana and Caritas Italiana. Based out of Milan, Italy, Caritas Ambrosiana interviewed Francis ahead of his planned trip to t...
