This weekend we celebrate the 1st Sunday of Lent, Year A. We're only a few days into our Lenten journey that started this past Ash Wednesday. Sometimes the beginning of any journey toward self-improvement can have a rough or rocky start. But I want to encourage you to keep going. We should never focus on our mistakes, but instead on the Lord, who promises to always be there for his faithful ones when they call to him.
And God knows we need encouragement - we need to be reminded of his promises. That's why I believe the entrance antiphon for today is so fitting.
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."
(Psalm 91:15-16)
Psalm 51
"Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned."
Gospel Acclamation
"One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God."
(Matthew 4:4b)
Communion Antiphon
"One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God."
(Matthew 4:4)
