Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song
First Reading Dt 26:4-10
Moses spoke to the people, saying: “The priest shall receive the basket from you and shall set it in front of the altar of the LORD, your
God. Then you shall declare before the Lord, your God, ‘My father was a wandering Aramean who went down to Egypt with a small
household and lived there as an alien. But there he became a nation great, strong, and numerous. When the Egyptians maltreated and
oppressed us, imposing hard labor upon us, we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers, and he heard our cry and saw our affliction,
our toil, and our oppression. He brought us out of Egypt with his strong hand and outstretched arm, with terrifying power, with signs
and wonders; and bringing us into this country, he gave us this land flowing with milk and honey. Therefore, I have now brought you
the firstfruits of the products of the soil which you, O LORD, have given me.’ And having set them before the Lord, your God, you shall
bow down in his presence.”
Responsorial Psalm Ps 91 R. Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble.
Second Reading Rom 10:8-13
Brothers and sisters: What does Scripture say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart —that is, the word of faith that we
preach—, for, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. For the Scripture says, No
one who believes in him will be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, enriching
all who call upon him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
Gospel Lk 4:1-13
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the
devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,
command this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, One does not live on bread alone.” Then he took him up and
showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant. The devil said to him, “I shall give to you all this power and glory; for it
has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. All this will be yours, if you worship me.” Jesus said to him in reply,
“It is written: You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.” Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on
the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written: He will
command his angels concerning you, to guard you, and: With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
Jesus said to him in reply, “It also says, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.” When the devil had finished every temptation,
he departed from him for a time.

El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150
Primera lectura Dt 26, 4-10
En aquel tiempo, dijo Moisés al pueblo: “Cuando presentes las primicias de tus cosechas, el sacerdote tomará el cesto de tus manos y lo
pondrá ante el altar del Señor, tu Dios. Entonces tú dirás estas palabras ante el Señor, tu Dios: ‘Mi padre fue un arameo errante, que
bajó a Egipto y se estableció allí con muy pocas personas; pero luego creció hasta convertirse en una gran nación, potente y numerosa.
Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos oprimieron y nos impusieron una dura esclavitud. Entonces clamamos al Señor, Dios de nuestros
padres, y el Señor escuchó nuestra voz, miró nuestra humillación, nuestros trabajos y nuestra angustia. El Señor nos sacó de Egipto con
mano poderosa y brazo protector, con un terror muy grande, entre señales y portentos; nos trajo a este país y nos dio esta tierra, que
mana leche y miel. Por eso ahora yo traigo aquí las primicias de la tierra que tú, Señor, me has dado’. Una vez que hayas dejado tus
primicias ante el Señor, te postrarás ante él para adorarlo”.
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 90 R. Tú eres mi Dios y en ti confío.
Segunda lectura Rom 10, 8-13
Hermanos: La Escritura afirma: Muy a tu alcance, en tu boca y en tu corazón, se encuentra la salvación, esto es, el asunto de la fe que
predicamos. Porque basta que cada uno declare con su boca que Jesús es el Señor y que crea en su corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre
los muertos, para que pueda salvarse. En efecto, hay que creer con el corazón para alcanzar la santidad y declarar con la boca para
alcanzar la salvación. Por eso dice la Escritura: Ninguno que crea en él quedará defraudado, porque no existe diferencia entre judío y no
judío, ya que uno mismo es el Señor de todos, espléndido con todos los que lo invocan, pues todo el que invoque al Señor como a su
Dios, será salvado por él.
Evangelio Lc 4, 1-13
En aquel tiempo, Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, regresó del Jordán y conducido por el mismo Espíritu, se internó en el desierto, donde
permaneció durante cuarenta días y fue tentado por el demonio. No comió nada en aquellos días, y cuando se completaron, sintió
hambre. Entonces el diablo le dijo: “Si eres el Hijo de Dios, dile a esta piedra que se convierta en pan”. Jesús le contestó: “Está escrito:
No sólo de pan vive el hombre”. Después lo llevó el diablo a un monte elevado y en un instante le hizo ver todos los reinos de la tierra y
le dijo: “A mí me ha sido entregado todo el poder y la gloria de estos reinos, y yo los doy a quien quiero. Todo esto será tuyo, si te
arrodillas y me adoras”. Jesús le respondió: “Está escrito: Adorarás al Señor, tu Dios, y a él sólo servirás”. Entonces lo llevó a
Jerusalén, lo puso en la parte más alta del templo y le dijo: “Si eres el Hijo de Dios, arrójate desde aquí, porque está escrito: Los ángeles
del Señor tienen órdenes de cuidarte y de sostenerte en sus manos, para que tus pies no tropiecen con las piedras”. Pero Jesús le
respondió: “También está escrito: No tentarás al Señor, tu Dios”. Concluidas las tentaciones, el diablo se retiró de él, hasta que llegara
la hora.
