First Reading
Genesis 2: 7-9; 3: 1-7
Adam and Eve succumb to temptation and cause a rift between themselves and God.

Second Reading Romans 5: 12-19
By his obedience to God, Christ won back for us the gifts lost through the disobedience of Adam.

Gospel Matthew 4: 1-11
Jesus was tempted by the devil, but unlike Adam and Eve, he did not succumb.

Tuesday May Be A Day Too Late

Greet the dawn of each day as if a long lost friend’s come home;
Make one and only one promise to yourself
that you will enjoy the day and all it brings;
Find in yourself the one extra ounce of reserve
when you need it, and you will,
for each day demands energy as well as love;
Smile and say hello everyday to at least one stranger;
Acknowledge the joy of children and the peace that elders deserve;
Be as free with compliments as you are with criticism;
Bite your tongue on the first harsh word you want to say;
Shake hands as if you were a link in a lifeline;
Once in a while give something away
that’s important to you, but not a dream
Recall the faces of your parents and a childhood incident,
and remember their touch, their kiss, their hand on you;
Retire with a smile to the joy of your rest,
knowing tomorrow is at hand; and above all,
grasp your dream as if it had handles,
for you are the only one who can turn if around.
