Lectionary Readings for the 1st Sunday of
Lent, Year B
Readings, Responsorial Psalm and Gospel
Reading I, Gen 9, 8-15
A Reading from the Book of Genesis
I will recall the covenant between myself and you...
the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy
all flesh.
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 things, so
that the waters shall never again become a flood to
destroy all mortal beings."
The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm, Ps 25, 4-5. 6-7, 8-9. R. v. 10
R.
Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth,
to those who keep your covenant.
1. Your ways, O Lord, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior. R.
2. Remember that your compassion, O Lord,
and your kindness are from of old.
In your kindness remember me,
because of your goodness, O Lord. R.
3. Good and upright is the Lord;
thus he shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble to justice,
he teaches the humble his way. R.
Reading II, 1 Pt 3. 18-22
A Reading from the First Letter of Peter
The water of the flood is a type of baptism
which saves you now.
This is why Christ died for sins once for all, a
just man for the sake of the unjust: so that he could
lead you to God. He was put to death insofar as
fleshly existence goes, but was given life in the
realm of the spirit. It was in the spirit also that
he went to preach to the spirits in prison. They
disobeyed as long ago as Noah's day, while God
patiently waited until the ark was built. At that
time, a few persons, eight in all, escaped in the
ark through the water. You are now saved by a
baptismal bath which corresponds to this exactly.
This baptism is no removal of physical stain, but
the pledge to God of an irreproachable conscience
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He went
to heaven and is at God's right hand, with angelic
rulers and powers subjected to him.
The Word of the Lord.
Gospel, Mk 1, 12-15
Verse before the Gospel Mt 4, 4
Man does not live on bread alone, but on every
word that comes from the mouth of God.
A Reading from the Holy Gospel, According to Mark
He was tempted by Satan, and the angels looked
after him.
The Spirit sent Jesus out toward the desert. He stayed
in the wasteland forty days, put to the test there by
Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and angels waited
on him. After John's arrest, Jesus appeared in Galilee
proclaiming God's good news: "This is the time of
fulfillment. The reign of God is at hand! Reform your
lives and believe in the good news!"
This is the gospel of the Lord.
