Satan is a liar and a cheat who promises people everything then leaves them with nothing, Pope Francis has said at his early morning Mass.
In his homily on February 10, Pope Francis contrasted the way Eve interacted with the serpent in the garden of Eden and the way Jesus reacted to the devil after spending 40 days in the desert.
With Eve, "the father of lies" demonstrates how he is a specialist in tricking people, the Pope said. First, he makes her feel comfortable, then he begins a dialogue with her, leading her "step by step" where he wants her to go.
