Introit of First Sunday in Lent

Psalm 90:15-16

HE shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I will deliver him, and I will glorify him: I will fill him with length of days. Ps. He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most High shall abide under the protection of the God of Heaven. V. Glory be to the Father.

Haydock

Verse 15 Tribulation. The just are not exempt from it. — Glorify him, with eternal salvation.

Verse 16 Days. Eternity alone can satisfy the heart. — Salvation. Or Jesus, who promised to manifest himself, John xiv. 21, 25. (Berthier) — Abraham saw him afar off; Simeon at hand, John viii. 56., and Luke ii. 30. God insures the just a long life in this world, and an eternal one in the next. (Calmet) — That life is long enough which ends in happiness. (Haydock)
