What struck me at mass this morning was the last temptation...all the world’s wealth, if Christ would just bow down and worship Satan...
The thought that crossed my mind this morning was how politicians ‘tempt’ the citizen to vote for them with promises of healthcare, foodstamps, etc. They essentially are taking the wealth of the nation and tempting the citizen, in return they are to bow down and worship the government.

What has haunted me the most about that Gospel passage is that when Satan showed Christ all the kingdoms of the world and offered to give them to Him, Christ never told Satan that they weren't Satan's to give to anybody. I've always taken that to mean that the kingdoms of this world do belong to Satan, at least for the time being.
