Processional Song - Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray,
Teach us to overcome our sins,
And close by you to stay.
As you with Satan did contend
And did the vict’ry win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
In you to conquer sin.
As you did hunger and did thirst,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and so to live
By your most holy word.
And through these days of penitence,
And through your Passiontide,
For evermore, in life and death,
O Lord! with us abide.
Abide with us that, that through this life
Of doubts and hopes and pain,
An Easter of unending joy
We may at last attain!

1st Reading –
Gen. 9:8-15
God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
"See, I am now establishing my covenant with you
and your descendants after you
and with every living creature that was with you:
all the birds, and the various tame and wild animals
that were with you and came out of the ark.
I will establish my covenant with you,
that never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed
by the waters of a flood;
there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth."
God added:
"This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come,
of the covenant between me and you
and every living creature with you:
I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign
of the covenant between me and the earth.
When I bring clouds over the earth,
and the bow appears in the clouds,
I will recall the covenant I have made
between me and you and all living beings,
so that the waters shall never again become a flood
to destroy all mortal beings."
The Word of the Lord
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm –
Psalm 25
R. Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant.
2nd Reading –
1 Peter 3:18-22
Beloved:
Christ suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.
In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison,
who had once been disobedient
while God patiently waited in the days of Noah
during the building of the ark,
in which a few persons, eight in all,
were saved through water.
This prefigured baptism, which saves you now.
It is not a removal of dirt from the body
but an appeal to God for a clear conscience,
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
who has gone into heaven
and is at the right hand of God,
with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Praise to you, Lord, Jesus Christ,
King of Endless Glory.
Gospel –
Mark 1:12-15
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Mark.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert,
and he remained in the desert for forty days,
tempted by Satan.
He was among wild beasts,
and the angels ministered to him.
After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
"This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel."
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Homily (please sit)
Creed
General Intercessions:
After each prayer, respond: Lord, hear our prayer.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples.
You have charged us through your Son, Jesus, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish.
Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve you.
We entrust our parish family to the care of Mary, our mother, and ask for her intercession and guidance, as we strive to build a parish that loves God, embraces all people, and shares the Gospel joyfully.

Offertory Song -
Lord, I Need You
Lord I come, I confess;
Bowing here, I find my rest.
Without You, I fall apart;
You're the one that guides my heart. (refrain)
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You;
Every hour, I need You.
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more;
Where grace is found, is where You are;
And where You are, Lord, I am free,
Holiness is Christ in me. (refrain)
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way,
And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay. (refrain)
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Communion Song - Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Holy holy is He
Sing a new song to Him Who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat
Holy holy holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev'rything
And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory
And power be to You the only wise King
Filled with wonder awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power breath and living water
Such a marv'lous mystery yeah
Recessional Song - Heart of Worship
When the music fades, all is stripped away
And I simply come.
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart.
I'll bring You more than a song,
For a song in itself is not what You have required.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear;
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship.
And it's all about You, all about You, Jesus.
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it,
When it's all about You, all about You, Jesus.
King of endless worth, no one could express
How much You deserve.,
Though I'm weak and poor all I have is Yours,
Ev'ry single breath.
