​C:
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities.

I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.
Opening Prayer
  
Almighty God, your blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan.  Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations.  And, and you know the weakness of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord.  Amen.
