“No! For the Scriptures tell us that bread won’t feed men’s souls: obedience to every word of God is what we need.” (Matthew 4: 4 TLB)
Jesus answered the devil with the above quote from Deuteronomy 8 verse 3.
Since man is made up of body, soul and spirit, no amount of bread, money, homes, clothing, health, cars, etc would ever satisfy man. Only God who knows exactly what man needs can satisfy him.
The Eucharist, the heavenly bread, nourishes our faith, increases our hope and strengthens our charity. As we start our 5th Day of Lent 2017, learn to hunger for Jesus, the true and living Bread and strive to live by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
