DIVINUM OFFICIUM Responsory

Responsorium VII - Nocturn III

First Sunday of Lent, Nocturn III, Responsory 1

This seventh responsory for the First Sunday of Lent recounts Christ's temptation: 'Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil' (Matthew 4:1). The Gospel of the First Sunday of Lent always recounts the Temptation. This responsory establishes Christ as the model for Lenten spiritual combat, fasting forty days before facing Satan's attacks.
