Entrance Antiphon:
When he calls on me, I will answer him;
I will deliver him and give him glory,
I will grant him length of days.
First Reading: Deuteronomy 26: 4-10.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 91:1-2.10-15.
Response: Be with me, O Lord, when I am in distress.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
and abides in the shade of the Almighty,
says to the Lord, “My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!” R/
Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach your tent.
For you has he commanded his angels
to keep you in all your ways. R/
They shall bear you upon their hands,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and the viper you will tread,
and trample the young lion and the serpent. R/
Since he clings to me in love, I will free him,
protect him, for he knows my name.
When he calls on me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress;
I will deliver him, and give him glory. R/
Second Reading: Romans 10: 8-13.
Gospel Acclamation:
Glory and praise to you, O Christ.
Man does on live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Glory and praise to you, O Christ
Gospel: Luke 4:1-13.
Communion Antiphon:
One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER:
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
