Brother Jesus, who resisted the temptations of the accuser, help us to let go of the allure of wealth and power in the world, that we would learn to be content as you are, trusting in the goodness of the Father and the love that sustained us from the very beginning, through you who abides in perfect joy with the Father and Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
‘Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’”‘ – Matthew 4:8-10
