Lord be with me in my sorrow!

Be with me Lord in my sorrow!


First Reading from the Book of Deuteronomy.

(Chapter 26: verses 4-10)

Moses spoke to the people and said:

Moses spoke to the people and said:

“The priest shall then

take the basket

from your hand and lay it

before the altar of The Lord your God.

You then shall say this before the Lord your God:

“My father was

a wandering Aramaean.

“My father was

a wandering Aramaean.

He went down into

Egypt and

found refuge there.

The Egyptians ill-treated us and enslaved

us with hard labour.

But we called the

Lord, God of our fathers and

the Lord heard our

cries.

The Lord saw our oppression and toil. He saw our misery and brought us out of Egypt.

With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great

terror and with signs and wonders He delivered us.

He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land where milk and honey flow.

And now, look, I bring to You the first fruits of my

produce of this land, my Lord.”

Then you shall lay it before the Lord your

God and the Lord your God

you shall

adore.”

The Word of the Lord!


Thanks be to

God!

Gospel:a reading from the

Good News

according

to St.Luke. (Chapter 4 verses

1-13)

In those days, Jesus, filled

with the Holy Sprit,

returning from the Jordan, was led by

the Spirit into the desert.

There He stayed for forty days and was

tempted by the devil.

During that time He ate nothing; but towards the end of those days

He was hungry.

Satan said to Him:

“If you are the

Son of God,

order this stone to turn into a loaf.”order this stone

to turn into a loaf.”

But Jesus said: “It is written:

“Man does not live on bread alone.”

Then the devil took Him to a high point and in a moment showed

Him all the kingdoms of the world.

And he said: “Look, I will give to you all

the power over these kingdoms

together with all of their glory for it has

been given to me and I can give it to

anyone I desire.

Bow down before me and worship me and it will all

be Yours.” it will all

be Yours.”

Jesus replied: “It is written:

“The Lord your God alone you

shall adore. Him alone you shall serve.”

Then the devil took Him to

Jerusalem and set Him on the

highest wall of the temple saying:

“If you are the Son of God, throw youself

down from here.

for it is written:“He will command

His angels to watch over you” and that “in their hands they will

hold you so that you may not hurt your foot

with the stones”

God to the test!”

Then the devil, who had

tempted Jesus in every way,

left Him,to return at the

appointed time.
