Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan
and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days,
to be tempted by the devil.
He ate nothing during those days,
and when they were over he was hungry.
The devil said to him,
"If you are the Son of God,
command this stone to become bread."
Jesus answered him,
"It is written, One does not live on bread alone."
Then he took him up and showed him
all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant.
The devil said to him,
"I shall give to you all this power and glory;
for it has been handed over to me,
and I may give it to whomever I wish.
All this will be yours, if you worship me."
Jesus said to him in reply,
"It is written
You shall worship the Lord, your God,
and him alone shall you serve."
Then he led him to Jerusalem,
made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him,
"If you are the Son of God,
throw yourself down from here, for it is written:
He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,
and:
With their hands they will support you,
lest you dash your foot against a stone."
Jesus said to him in reply,
"It also says,
You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test."
When the devil had finished every temptation,
he departed from him for a time.

Self-medication is detrimental to health and can even be fatal. The goal is physical and spiritual health. Basic knowledge is an element of maintaining good health. The kidneys are delicate organs and should not be self-medicated, which is an organ that purifies the blood. We need to drink healthy water to help the kidneys do their job. Self-medicating can lead to many medical imperfections. Program “Ampela Miary” produced at the RDB.

It is through the attitude of “religious” as “prophets” that they manifest their “commitment”. Religious are prophets because they are supposed to bring the Word of God to the world. Pope Francis said: the religious are "Watchers", in the middle of the church. Catechesis on commitment, with Fr. Hermann Solonomenjanahary.
