Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said: "If you are the Son of God, 'that these stones become bread. "But he said:" It is written: No man shall live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "Then the devil took him in the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple and said: "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, and they take you on their hands, because the your foot against a stone. "Jesus answered," It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.

Temptation of Christ are also our
A tale of temptation calls us to work ever done to bring order in our choices , to choose how to live Temptations of Jesus are our own: they invest the entire world of everyday relationships. The first temptation involves the relationship with ourselves and with things (the illusion that the goods fill your life). The second is an open challenge to our relationship with God (a God magic to our service). Finally, the third concerns the relationship with others (the hunger for power, love force). Tell these stones to become loaves of bread!
Bread is a good value no doubt, but Jesus responds by playing the upside, giving more life: "I do not live by bread alone man." The bread is good but most good is the word di Dio, il pane dà vita ma più vita viene dalla bocca di Dio. Accende in noi una fame di cielo: L'uomo vive di ogni parola che esce dalla bocca di Dio. Parola di Dio è il Vangelo, ma anche l'intero creato. Se l'uomo vive di ciò che viene da Dio, io vivo della luce, del cosmo, ma anche di te: fratello, amico, amore, che sei parola pronunciata dalla bocca di Dio per me. La seconda tentazione è una sfida aperta a Dio. «Buttati e credi in un miracolo».
Quello che sembrerebbe il più alto atto di fede - gettati con fiducia! - ne è, invece, la caricatura, pura ricerca del proprio vantaggio. Gesù ci mette in God will guard the magic at our disposal, from seeking God, but not its benefits, not the donors, but his gifts. "I groped the Lord: I know it will be with me, but as he wills, not as I would like. Perhaps it will give me everything I ask, but I have everything I need, everything I need. In the third temptation the devil Raise mail: worship me and I'll give you all the power in the world. The devil makes a market, exactly the opposite of God, who never makes the market for his gifts. It is as if to say: Jesus, you want to change the course of history with the cross? will not work.
The World everything is already a forest of crosses. What do I do with a crucifix in more? The world has problems, you have to solve them. Get the power, occupies the key posts, change the laws. So solve the problems with the balance of power and deception, not love. "And, behold, angels came and ministered to him." Approach and serve, verbs by angels. If this Lent and every one of us want to learn to take care of a person in need, or because only sick or poor, giving a bit 'of time and a little' heart, for then she would be approached as if an angel, flourish like angels in our desert.
