Introit for Baptism of the Lord?

[pm1853]

Does anyone know if there exists a chanted Introit for this Sunday’s liturgy? The Gregorian Missal has Dilexisti justiam…" but that doesn’t match the introductory prayer in the missalette “When the Lord had been baptized…” I’d rather use the latter if at all possible, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

This is not really helpful to your question but anyways:

There are two sets of Propers: one in the Missal and one in the Gradual. Technically the ones in the missal are meant to be used in “read” Masses while those in the Gradual (which also have an associated psalm) are meant for the “sung” Masses. I believe in the USA though, the GIRM allows for the singing of the missal antiphon as well.

Usually, especially for the saints, the two sets of Propers match but in the Proper of Seasons, sometimes they don’t and this is one of the cases. The same thing, you may have noticed occurs for the Communion: the missal has “This is he of whom John said: I have seen and have given witness that this is the Son of God.” while the Gradual has “As many as have been baptised into Christ have put on Christ, alleluia”
