Temptation of Jesus in desert. By William Hole 1908
"Almighty God! I unite myself
at the beginning of this holy season of penance with the Church
militant, endeavoring to make these days of real sorrow for my sins
and crucifixion of the sensual man. O Lord Jesus! in union with
Thy fasting and passion, I offer Thee my fasting in obedience to
the Church, for Thy honor, and in thanksgiving for the many favors
I have received, in satisfaction for my sins and the sins of others,
and that I may receive the grace to avoid such and such a sin, N.
N. and to practice such and such a virtue, N. N."
Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year
