LATIN| Introit | ANTIPHON Invocabit Me, et ego exaudiam eum: eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum: longitudine dierum adimplebo eum.
 Qui habitat in adjutorium Altissimi:
 In protectione Dei coeli comorabitur.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper et in s?cula sæculórum.
Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Invocabit Me, et ego exaudiam eum: eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum: longitudine dierum adimplebo eum. (Psalm 90: 15, 16; Psalm 90: 1)
| | Collect | Deus, qui Ecclesiam tuam annua quadragesimali observatione purificas: Praesta familiae tuae: ut, quod a te obtinere abstinendo nitur, hoc bonis operibus exsequatur. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
Amen. (Psalm 90: 15, 16; Psalm 90: 1)
| | Lesson | Lectiio Epistolae beati Pauli Apostoli ad Corinthios.
Fratres: Exhortamur vos, ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis. Ait enim: Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis. Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum: sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipos sicut Dei ministros, in multa patientia, in tribulationibus in necessitatibus, in angustiis, in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis, in castitate, in scientia, in longanimitate, in suavitate, in Spiritu sancto, in caritate non ficta, in verbo veritatis, in virtute Dei, per arma justitiae a dextris, et a sinistris: per gloriam, et ignobilitatem, per inflamiam, et bonam famam: ut deductores, et veraces, sicut ut seductores, et veraces, sicut qui ignoti, et cogniti: quasi morientes, et ecce vivimus: ut castigati et non mortificati: quasi tristes, simper autem gaudentes: sicut egentes, muiltos autem locuplentantes: tamquam nihil habentes, et omnia possidentes.
Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (II Corinthians 6. 1-10)
| | Gradual | Angelis suis Deus mandavit de te,
ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis
In minibus portabunt te,
ne unquam offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum. (Psalm 90: 11, 12)
| | Tract | Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi,
in protectione Dei caeli comorabitur.
Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum:
Deus meus, sperabo in eum
Quonium ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium,
et a verbo aspero.
Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi, et sub pennies ejus sperabis.
Scuto circumdabit te veritas ejua non timebis a timore nocturno.
A sagitta volante per diem,
a negotio perambulante in tenebris, a runia et daemonio meridiano.
Cadent a latere tuo mille,
et decem millia a dextris tuis: tibi autem non appropinquabit
Quoniam Angelis suis mandavit de te,
ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis. In minibus portabunt te ne unquam offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
Super aspidem et basiliscum ambulabis,
et conculcabis leonem et draconem.
Quoniam in me speravit,
liberabo eum, protegam eum, Quoniam cognovit nomen meum.
Invocabit me,
et ego exaudiam eum, cum ipso sum in tribulatione.
Eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum:
longitudine dierum adimplebo eum, et ostendam illi salutare meum. (Psalm 90: 1-7, 11-16)
| | Gospel | Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
Gloria  tibi, Domine
In illo tempore: Ductus est Jesus in desertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a diabolo. Et cum jejunasset quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit. Et accedens tentator dixit ei: ‘Si Fillius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant.’ Qui respondens dixit; ‘Scriptum est: Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei.’ Tunc assumpsit eum diabulus in sanctam civitatem, et statuit eum supra pinnaculum temple, et dixit ei: ‘Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim: Quia Angelis suis mandavit de te, et in minibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.’ Ait illi Jesus: ‘Quorum Scriptum est: Non tentabis Dominium Deum tuum.’ Iterum assumpsit eum diabolus in montem excelsum valde: et ostendit ei omnia regna mundi, et gloriam eorum, et dixit ei: ‘Haec omnia tibi dabo, si cadens adoraberis me. Tunc dicit ei Jesus: ‘Vade, Satana: Scriptum est enim: Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies.’ Tunc reliquit eum diabolus: et ecce Angeli accesserunt, et ministrabant ei.
Evangélium Dómini.
Laus Tibi, Christe. (Matthew 4: 1-11)
| | Offertory | Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi Dominus, et sub pennies ejus sperabis: scuto circumdabit te veritas ejus. (Psalm 90: 4, 5)
| | Secret | Sacrificium quadragesimalis initii solemniter immolamus te, Domine, deprecantes: ut, cum epularum restrictione carnalium, a noxiis quoque voluptatibus temperemus. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filius tuus Dominus noster, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
Amen. (Psalm 90: 4, 5)
| Preface

ENGLISH| Introit | ANTIPHON He shall cry to Me, and I will hear him: I will deliver him, and I will glorify him: I will fill him with length of days
He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most High:
Shall abide under the protection of the God of Heaven.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) He shall cry to Me, and I will hear him: I will deliver him, and I will glorify him: I will fill him with length of days (Psalm 90: 15, 16; Psalm 90: 1)
| | Collect | O almighty and eternal God, who hast dominion over both the living and the dead, and hast mercy on all whom Thou foreknowest shall be Thine by faith and good works: we humbly beseech Thee that all for whom we have resolved to make supplication whether the present world still holds them in the flesh or the world to come has already received them out of the body, may, through the intercession of all Thy saints, obtain of Thy goodness and clemency pardon for all their sins. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen. (Psalm 90: 15, 16; Psalm 90: 1)
| | Lesson | Today’s lesson is from the Second Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians.
Brethren: We exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. For He saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time, behold now is the day of salvation. Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed: but in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distress, in stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labors, in watchings, in fastings, in chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Spirit, in charity unfeigned, in the word of truth, in the power of God: by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left: by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers and yet true, as unknown and yet known: as dying, and behold we live: as chastised and not killed: as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing: as needy, yet enriching many: as having nothing and possessing all things.
Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (II Corinthians 6. 1-10)
| | Gradual | God hath given His angels charge over Thee
to keep Thee in all Thy ways.
In their hands they shall bear Thee up,
lest Thou dash Thy foot against a stone. (Psalm 90: 11, 12)
| | Tract | He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High,
shall abide under the protection of the God of heaven.
He shall say to the Lord:
Thou art my protector and my refuge: my God, in Him will I trust.
For He hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters,
and from the sharp word.
He will overshadow thee with His shoulders,
and under His wings thou shalt trust.
His truth shall compass thee with a shield:
thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
Of the arrow that flieth in the day,
of the business that walketh about in the dark, of invasion or of the noonday devil.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at the right hand:
but it shall not come nigh thee.
For he hath given His angels charge over Thee,
to keep Thee in all Thy ways.
In their hands they shall bear Thee up,
lest Thou dash Thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk,
and Thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Because he hoped in Me I will deliver him:
I will protect him, because he hath known My name.
He shall cry to Me, and I will hear him:
I am with him in tribulation.
I will deliver him, and I will glorify him:
I will fill him with length of days, and I will show him My salvation. (Psalm 90: 1-7, 11-16)
| | Gospel | The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that Time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards He was hungry. And the tempter coming said to him: ‘If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.’ Who answered and said: ‘It is written: Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.’ Then the devil took Him up into the holy city and set Him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him: ‘If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down. For it is written: That He hath given His angels charge over Thee, and in their hands shall they bear Thee up, lest perhaps Thou dash Thy foot against a stone.’ Jesus said to him: ‘It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord Thy God.’ Again the devil took Him up into a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, and said to Him: ‘All these will I give Thee, if falling down Thou wilt adore me.’ Then Jesus saith to him: ‘Begone, Satan! For it is written: The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and Him only shalt thou serve.’ Then the devil left Him: and behold angels came, and ministered to Him.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (Matthew 4: 1-11)
| | Offertory | The Lord will overshadow thee with His shoulders, and under His wings thou shalt trust: His truth shall compass thee with a shield. (Psalm 90: 4, 5)
| | Secret | We solemnly offer Thee, O Lord, the sacrifice of the beginning of Lent, beseeching Thee, that by refraining from carnal feasts, we may learn to avoid sinful pleasures. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Psalm 90: 4, 5)
| Preface
(Lent) | It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and re-wards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Do-minations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. the Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
| | Communio Verse | The Lord will overshadow thee with His shoulders, and under His wings thou shalt trust: His truth shall compass thee with a shield. (Psalm 90: 4, 5)
| | Post-Communion Prayer | May the holy partaking of Thy sacrament, restore us, O Lord, and cleansing us from our old life, make us to pass into the fellowship of the mystery of salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Psalm 90: 4, 5)

About the information (below)
This information applies to the Diocese of Texas. If you are outside the diocese, the details
you see here are fairly standard throughout the western church. However, your bishop's rules may vary.
Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."
Note on candles
The listing calendar items shows how many additional candles. Here are the rules for the base set of candles.
| Use 2 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 4 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 6 | for any celebrant using incense |
| Add 1 | if the celebrant is the Ordinary |
Note on liturgical colors
Parishes and priests only need two colors: white and purple. White can substitute for every color, except purple.
| WHITE | Used at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations. |
| RED | Days of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs. |
| ADVENT PURPLE | This is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have. |
| LENT PURPLE | This is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak). |
| GREEN | Green is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green. |
| ROSE | Use on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays |
| BLUE | Any Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary |
| BLACK | Good Friday and Funerals. |
| GOLD | At a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine. |
