Justice Challenge - The Gospel recounts Jesus’ experience of being tempted by the devil after 40 days of retreat in the desert.  Jesus was tempted to indulge in physical satisfaction (eating bread), ego satisfaction (throwing Himself off the temple to be saved by angels), and the satisfaction of power (having the world at His feet if He worshipped the devil).  Your challenge this week is to take a serious look at the power you hold over other people—your children or parents, your colleagues at work or school, your friends.  Do you use your power in a holy way?  Do you ever abuse your power?  Pray this week that you always remember that only God really has the power.  Remind yourself that you are called to use the power entrusted to you to serve others in the same way Jesus did.
