Good and upright is the Lord,
God leads the humble in what is right.
God makes known the way of righteousness,
And teaches the Lord’s paths.
Opening Prayer
Almighty God, whose blessed Son endured the temptations of the devil to show us the way of obedience: Grant that we, who through our own infirmity have fallen to our adversary, maybe delivered by the intervention of His passion; Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit reigns for ever more.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,

Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.
