Sunday 6 March 2022 – I OF LENT

From the Gospel according to Luke (Lk 4: 1 – 13)

At that time, Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, withdrew from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, for forty days, tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days, but when they were done, he was hungry. Then the devil said to him: “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” Jesus replied: “It is written:” Man will not live by bread alone “”.
The devil took him up, showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the earth and said to him: “I will give you all this power and their glory, because it was given to me and I give it to whomever I want. Therefore, if you prostrate yourself in adoration before me, everything will be yours. ” Jesus answered him: «It is written: ‘The Lord your God, you will worship: to him alone you will render worship’».
He took him to Jerusalem, placed him on the highest point of the temple and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here; in fact it is written: “He will give orders to his angels about you so that they will keep you”; and also: “They will carry you on their hands so that your foot does not stumble on a stone” ». Jesus answered him: «It has been said, ‘You will not put the Lord your God to the test’».
Having exhausted all temptation, the devil turned away from him until the appointed time.
