First Reading (Deuteronomy 26: 4–10)
A reading from the book of Deuteronomy.
Moses proclaimed to the people, "The priest shall take the large basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the Lord, your God, and you shall say these words before the Lord, 'My father was a wandering Aramean. He went down to Egypt to find refuge there, while still few in number; but in that country, he became a great and powerful nation. The Egyptians maltreated us, oppressed us and subjected us to harsh slavery. So we called to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord listened to us. He saw our humiliation, our hard labor and the oppression to which we were subjected. He brought us out of Egypt with a firm hand, manifesting his power with signs and awesome wonders. And he brought us here to give us this land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring and offer the firstfruits of the land which you, the Lord, have given me.'"
Second Reading (Romans 10: 8–13)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: What does Scripture say? The word of God is near your, on your lips and in your hearts. This is the message that we preach, and this is faith. You are saved if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart you believe that God raised him from the dead. By believing from the heart, you obtain true righteousness; by confessing the faith with your lips you are saved. For Scripture says: No one who believes in him will be ashamed. Here there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; all have the same Lord, who is very generous with whoever calls on him. Truly, all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
Gospel (Luke 4: 1–13)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus was now full of Holy Spirit as he returned from the Jordan, the Spirit led him into the desert where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. He did not eat anything during that time, and in the end, he was hungry. The devil then stated to him, "If you are the son of God, tell this stone to transform into bread." However, Jesus answered, "But the Scripture states: People cannot live on bread alone." Then the devil took him up to a high place and shows him in a flash all the nations of the world. And he stated to Jesus, "I can give your power over all the nations and their wealth have been delivered to me and I give them to whom I wish. All this will be yours provided you worship me." But Jesus replied, "But the Scripture states: You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him alone." Then the devil took Jesus up to Jerusalem and set him on the highest wall of the Temple; and he stated, "If you are the son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written in the Scriptures: God will order his angels to take care of you and again: They will hold you in their hands, lest you hurt your foot against the stones." But Jesus replied, "But Scripture also states: You shall not challenge the Lord your God." When the devil had exhausted every way of tempting Jesus, he left him, to return another time.

In the season of Lent, the Gloria is omitted.

DeleteResponsorial Psalm (Psalm 91) (Verses 1, 2, 10-15)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Most high, who rest in the show of the Almighty, say to the Lord, "My stronghold, my refuge, my God in whom I trust!"
No harm will come upon you, no disaster will draw near your home. For he will command his angels to guard you in all your ways.
They will lift you up with their hands so that your foot will not hit a stone. You will tread on wildcats and snakes and trample the lion and the dragon.
"Because they cling to me, I will rescue them," say the Lord. "I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I shall answer; in time of trouble I will be with them; I will deliver and honor them."
Thank you Lord for blessing us every day, I shall praise you in all my life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord for all the blessings. Help us and guide us. I need you.
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord!
ReplyDeleteCome to me, and I will give you rest.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta a dar gracia al Señor, desde él nos defiende de los malvados.
ReplyDeleteEl Señor es muy poderoso. Nos protege de las tentaciones y los malvados.
DeletePrimera Lectura (Deuteronomio 26: 4-10)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de Deuteronomio.
Moisés le proclamó a la multitud: “Y el sacerdote tomará de tus manos el canasto y lo depositará ante el altar de Yahvé, tu Dios. Entonces tú dirás estas palabras ante Yahvé: Mi padre era un arameo errante, que bajó a Egipto y fue a refugiarse allí, siendo pocos aún; pero en ese país se hizo una nación grande y poderosa. Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos oprimieron y nos impusieron dura servidumbre. Llamamos pues a Yahvé, Dios de nuestros padres, y Yahvé nos escuchó, vio nuestra humillación, nuestros duros trabajos y nuestra opresión. Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano firme, demostrando su poder con señales y milagros que sembraron el terror. Y nos trajo aquí para darnos esta tierra que mana leche y miel. Y ahora vengo a ofrecer los primeros productos de la tierra que tú, Yahvé, me has dado. Los depositarás ante Yahvé, te postrarás y adorarás a Yahvé, tu Dios.”
Segunda Lectura (Romanos 10: 8-13)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
Hermanos y hermanas: ¿Pero qué es lo que dice la justicia? La palabra está cerca de ti, en tu boca y en tu corazón, es decir la palabra de la fe que nosotros predicamos. Porque si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvado. Con el corazón se cree para alcanzar la justicia, y con la boca se confiesa para obtener la salvación. Así lo afirma la Escritura: "El que cree en él, no quedará confundido". Porque no hay distinción entre judíos y los que no lo son: todos tienen el mismo Señor, que colma de bienes a quienes lo invocan. Ya que todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor se salvará.
Evangelio (Lucas 4: 1-13)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, regresó de las orillas del Jordán y fue conducido por el Espíritu al desierto, donde fue tentado por el demonio durante cuarenta días. No comió nada durante esos días, y al cabo de ellos tuvo hambre. El demonio le dijo entonces: “Si tú eres Hijo de Dios, manda a esta piedra que se convierta en pan.” Pero Jesús le respondió: “Dice la Escritura: ‘El hombre no vive solamente de pan.’” Luego el demonio lo llevó a un lugar más alto, le mostró en un instante todos los reinos de la tierra y le dijo: “Te daré todo este poder y esplendor de estos reinos, porque me han sido entregados, y yo los doy a quien quiero. Si tú te postras delante de mí, todo eso te pertenecerá.” Pero Jesús le respondió: “Está escrito: ‘Adorarás al Señor, tu Dios, y a él solo rendirás culto.’” Después el demonio lo condujo a Jerusalén, lo puso en la parte más alta del Templo y le dijo: “Si tú eres Hijo de Dios, tírate de aquí abajo, porque está escrito: ‘El dará órdenes a sus ángeles para que ellos te cuiden.’” Y también: “Ellos te llevarán en sus manos para que tu pie no tropiece con ninguna piedra.” Pero Jesús le respondió: “Está escrito: ‘No tentarás al Señor, tu Dios.’” Una vez agotadas todas las formas de tentación, el demonio se alejó de él, hasta el momento oportuno.
Salmo responsivo (Salmo 91) (Versículos 1-2 y 10-15)
ReplyDeleteLa respuesta es: Esté conmigo, Señor, cuando estoy en problemas.
Tú que vives al amparo del Altísimo y resides a la sombra del Todopoderoso, di al Señor: “Mi refugio y mi baluarte, mi Dios, en quien confío.”
No te alcanzará ningún mal, ninguna plaga se acercará a tu carpa, porque ha ordenado a sus ángeles que te protejan en todos tus caminos.
Ellos te llevarán en sus manos para que no tropieces contra ninguna piedra; caminarás sobre leones y víboras, pisotearás cachorros de león y serpientes.
Él se entregó a mí, por eso, yo lo glorificaré; lo protegeré, porque conoce mi Nombre; invocará, y yo le responderé. Estará con él en el peligro, lo defenderé y lo glorificaré.
Bienvenidos a la estación de Cuaresma. En la Cuaresma, seis semanas hasta el Domingo de Ramos preceden el Viernes Santo y la Pascua. En la Pascua, sucede la resurrección de Jesús. Pero para empezar con la estación de la Cuaresma, necesitaríamos rezar solemnemente sobre la lucha contra la tentación que Jesús tuvo durante la Cuaresma. Por cuarenta días, él no comió ninguna comida. Si eres interesado, trata de ayunar diariamente por cuarenta días hasta el Viernes Santo.
ReplyDeleteTe atrevo para ayunar por cuarenta días. Si lo haces con éxito, voy a premiarte.
DeleteEl desafío se ha aceptado.
DeletePero acuérdate, tienes que ayunar cotidianamente hasta el Viernes Santo. Puedes "desayunar" únicamente en la noche, hasta la puesta del sol. Sin embargo, no puedes comer en la madrugada, ni en la mañana, ni en la tarde.
DeleteYo reconozco las reglas, y yo voy a realizar esta misión.
Delete¿Lo tratarás? ¡Excelente! ¡Buena suerte!
DeleteNo necesito la suerte. Tengo la fe para realizarlo.
Delete¡Excelente! ¡Aun mejor!
DeleteClaro. Necesito ser fiel para hacer este acto. Como mi peregrinaje para buscar el significado de ayunar hasta el Viernes Santo, necesitaría enfocarme en esta misión. No es fácil, pero no es imposible. Todos actos son posibles si estás con Dios.
DeleteImpresionante. Creo que tendrás éxito con tu peregrinaje, Theodorus. ¡Ten fe en ti mismo!
DeleteGracias, gracias.
DeleteEl ministerio de los lectores sucedió en este día. Algunos miembros de la congregación respondieron a la llamada del Dios y deseaban servir al Dios como lectores. Nueve lectores decidieron servir al Dios como lectores. En sus provisiones, tienen una rosa, una vela, y una Biblia.
ReplyDeleteOye, ¿piensas que los lectores no sólo leen las lecturas en la Biblia, sino las comprender también?
DeleteEllos deben entender las lecturas también para que no se pongan en vergüenza.
DeleteEstoy de acuerdo. Será una vergüenza si los lectores no tengan ninguna idea el significado de las lecturas. Para evitar esa vergüenza, deben practicar antes de leer la lectura.
DeleteTambién las bendiciones de las cenizas se realizaron, desde el previo miércoles, se celebró el miércoles de ceniza. Todos creyentes tienen una cruz hecha de cenizas en sus frentes.
ReplyDeleteWe have given in to temptations. May the Lord have mercy on us and forgive us.

ReplyDeletePriest: Lord Jesus, the Spirit led you into the desert. Make our ways new and give us a new heart. Lord, have mercy.

This is the Collect (Opening Prayer) for the 1st Sunday of Lent.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Grant, almighty God, through the yearly observances of holy Lent, that we may grow in understanding of the riches hidden in Christ and by worthy conduct pursue their effects. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
This is the Verse Before the Gospel for the 1st Sunday of Lent.
ReplyDeletePraise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory!
One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory!
Father John has done a 11'47"4 homily.
ReplyDeletePriest: Let the Holy Spirit inspire our prayer as we bring before the Father the great needs of our brothers and sisters, of the Church and of the world. Let us say: Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
ReplyDelete— That the Lord may give to us and to all Christians a deep and strong faith, which we profess not only with our lips but which we also live in our deeds. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
— That we and all those caught up in material tasks and concerns may learn to seek other food too than bread alone. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
— That we and all those who work to increase their influence and power may learn to seek the Lord and adore him alone. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
— That we and all those who are tried by temptations may remain faithful to God and answer his call to serve God and people. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
— That we and all those surrounded by suffering, injustice and illness may be made more sensitive by the Lord to the needs of people and love them more. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
— Lord, in your Holy name, obtain for us from your Heavenly Father, His providence of the Saint Peter Canisius International Catholic Parish. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
Priest: Let us pray silently for our own personal intentions and offer them to our God. Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord, and have mercy.
Loving Father, you stood by your Son in his temptations. Sustain those who hope in you and keep them in your love, now and forever. Amen.
Give us the right dispositions, O Lord, we pray, to make these offerings, for with them we celebrate the beginning of this venerable and sacred time. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord. By abstaining forty long days from earthly food, he consecrated through his fast the pattern of our Lenten observance and by overturning all the snares of the ancient serpent, taught us to cast out the leaven of malice, so that celebrating worthily the Pascal Mystery, we might pass over at last to the eternal paschal feast. And so, with the company of Angels and Saints, we sing the hymn of your praise, as without end we acclaim…
ReplyDeleteThe Eucharistic Prayer N. 1 is utilized for this Mass. See the Roman Missal Third Edition; the Order of the Mass for more details.
ReplyDeleteRenewed now with heavenly bread, by which faith is nourished, hope increased, and charity strengthened, we pray O Lord, that we may learn to hunger for Christ, the true and living Bread, and strive to live by every word which proceeds from your mouth. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
