First Sunday in Lent

Introit                                                                                                                     Ps. 91:1-2, 9-10, 13; antiphon: Ps. 91:15a, c, 16

When he calls to me, I will | answer him;*
  I will rescue him and | honor him.
With long life I will sat- | isfy him*
  and show him my sal- | vation.
He who dwells in the shelter of the | Most High*
  will abide in the shadow of the Al- | mighty.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my | fortress,*
  my God, in | whom I trust.”
Because you have made the LORD your | dwelling place—*
  the Most High, who is my | refuge—
no evil shall be allowed to be- | fall you,*
  no plague come | near your tent.
You will tread on the lion and the | adder;*
  the young lion and the serpent you will trample | underfoot.
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son*
  and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- | ginning,*
  is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
When he calls to me, I will | answer him;*
  I will rescue him and | honor him.
With long life I will sat- | isfy him*
  and show him my sal- | vation.
