Read St Matthew's Gospel Chapter 4 Verses 1-11
Loving Father of Jesus and our own Father,
lead us during this Lent
through the desert we face each day.
We come with humility and openness
to recognise and name our temptations
as Jesus did in the desert.
Send your Holy Spirit to help us in this task
and with the challenge we face
of walking the right path.
These things we ask through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
