The Gospel reading for the first Sunday of Lent deals with the 40 day fast of Jesus in the desert.
Afterwards, he was hungry. Very hungry, I presume.
I have so much trouble with a daily fast and the discipline necessary to accomplish it. I can't imagine the strength of will needed to fast for 40 days.
And to be able to tell the devil no when he started whispering in my brain about how good it would be to turn stone into food.
Lord, please give the grace to know and love you with all my heart, mind, body and soul and to let how I live my life reflect that.
On Jesus name. I pray. Amen
