Please read the record of the Gospel: St. Luke 4:1-13

Christ showed us in today’s Gospel
not only that we are to be   tempted,
but also how to deal with temptations
and reject them. We should pray as
He did for forty days in the desert.
 We should mortify our bodies by
fasting and other penance. We must
make our bodily appetites obedient
to the commands of our will. Our
spiritual  welfare and the good
of our souls should take precedence
over pleasures of our bodies.
