1051 The one presiding says: No one lives on bread alone. R. But on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Let us pray.
0 God, by his forty days of fasting your Son has taught us that we do not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from your mouth. Help us to lift up our hearts, so that, strengthened by your power, we may truly love you in our brothers and sisters.
