tempted in order to teach me how to defeat the Devil.
I praise you, Lord Jesus, because you refused to use your power in a selfish way.
I praise you, Lord Jesus, because you used the verses of the Holy Bible to defeat your enemy.
I praise you, Lord Jesus, because you chose the way of love rather the way of human success and pride.
Have mercy on me, Jesus, because I worship my own image and fall into the idolatry of power and success.
Pity me, Lord, for I put prayer and the meditation of the Bible in second place, preferring action over contemplation, relying on my own force more than on prayer.
