“Jesus does not dialogue with the devil.  Jesus responds to the devil with the Word of God, not with His word.  How often, when tempted, do we enter into dialogue with the devil: “Yes, but I can do this…then I will go to confession…” Never talk to the devil.  Jesus does two things with the devil: He drives him away or, as in this case, He answers with the Word of God.  Be careful never dialogue with temptation.”

Pope Francis

Feast of Saint Mark, evangelist

Psalm 89

For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

The favors of the LORD I will sing forever;
through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.

For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

The heavens proclaim your wonders, O LORD,
and your faithfulness, in the assembly of the holy ones.
For who in the skies can rank with the LORD?
Who is like the LORD among the sons of God?
For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day,
and through your justice they are exalted.

For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
