The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Introductory Rites Processional
"Lord, I Need You" by Matt Maher
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) 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 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 When I cannot stand I'll fall on You / Jesus, You're my hope and stay (Refrain)
Penitential Rite
recited R: Lord, have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Lord, have mercy.
Liturgy of the Word First Reading The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being. Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and placed there the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the LORD God made various trees grow that were delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that the LORD God had made. The serpent asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?” The woman answered the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; it is only about the fruit of the tree
Responsorial Psalm
Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7 in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die! No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is evil.” The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
R: Thanks be to God.
Psalm 51: 3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 17
Second Reading Brothers and sisters: Through one man sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all men, inasmuch as all sinned. [For up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law. But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come. But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one, the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many. And the gift is not like the result of the one who sinned. For after one sin there was
Romans 5: 12-19 the judgment that brought condemnation; but the gift, after many transgressions, brought acquittal.] For if, by the transgression of the one, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one Jesus Christ. In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so, through one righteous act, acquittal and life came to all. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so, through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous. R: Thanks be to God.
Lenten Gospel Acclamation R: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, King of Endless Glory.
Gospel At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.” He said in reply, “It is written: One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” Then the devil took him to the holy city, and made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: He will command his angels concerning you and with their hands they will support you,
Homily Profession of Faith Prayer of the Faithful
Matthew 4: 1-11 lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Jesus answered him, “Again it is written, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test. ”Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, and he said to him, "All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me.” At this, Jesus said to him, “Get away, Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.” Then the devil left him and, behold, angels came and ministered to him. R: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Concluding Rite Recessional
"We Rise Again From Ashes" by Tom Conroy
We rise again from ashes, from the good we've failed to do. We rise again from ashes, to create ourselves anew. If all our world is ashes, then must our lives be true? An offering of ashes, an offering to You. Then rise again from ashes, let healing come to pain. Though spring has turned to winter, and sunshine turned to rain. The rain we'll use for growing, and create the world anew, From an offering of ashes, an offering to You.

Sister Deirdre Byrne, M.D. CONCLUDING REMARKS
Karen Owczarski
Guest Speaker SISTER DEIRDRE BYRNE, M.D. Sister Deirdre Byrne is an active missionary sister and superior and a board-certified family practitioner and general surgeon. A native of the Washington, D.C., area, Sister Deirdre (known to many as Sister DeDe) is one of eight siblings, attended Langley High School, and graduated from Virginia Tech. After college, Sister DeDe followed in her thoracic surgeon father's footsteps and entered medical school at Georgetown University, where she eventually completed a surgical residency. During that time she also joined the Army. After a life of medical and military service in far ranging areas, she was led to the Little Workers of the Sacred Heart community whose charism involves placing each and every person she cares for between the Heart of Jesus and Mary. Her apostolate has been performing overseas medical missionary work and providing free medical care for the poor and uninsured. The over 125-year-old community includes 400-500 members. By 2000, the boardcertified Dr. Byrne made her commitment to the Little Workers and began her novitiate training in earnest. Sister DeDe retired with the rank of Colonel from the United States Army in 2009 after 29 years of service in the military. She was extremely grateful for the opportunity to have served the "brave soldiers" while deployed to Afghanistan. Over the years, Sister Deirdre has found it easy to integrate her medical and military service into her religious vocation. Though comfortable in scrubs, she wears a full black or a white working habit when she can and is grateful for the impact it has on those to whom she ministers. Currently, she is the superior of the D.C. Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts house near Catholic University, where the sisters run a pro-bono physical therapy clinic and diabetic eye clinic, retirement home for her elderly sisters as well as a music school for pre-school children. Sister DeDe’s other charitable medical/surgical service includes hands-on ministry in the rubble of the twin towers following the terrorist attack on 9-11, and annual medical missions to Haiti and Iraq.
