LENTEN PRAYER

Almighty and Everlasting God,

You have given the human race

Jesus Christ our Savior as a model of humility.

He fulfilled Your Will by becoming Man

And giving His life on the Cross.

Help us to bear witness to You

By following His example of suffering

And make us worthy to share in His Resurrection.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son.

Amen.

Our Father...

MARY, Mother of Jesus,

you were Jesus’ gift for us from the Cross.

He gave you to us as our mother.

Intercede for all our needs.

Hail Mary...

Glory Be...

A PRAYER FOR LENT

O gracious Master,

infuse in our hearts

the spotless light of Your Divine Wisdom

and open the eyes of our mind

that we may understand the teachings of Your Gospel.

Instill in us also the fear of Your blessed commandments,

so that having curbed all carnal desires,

we may lead a spiritual life,

both thinking and doing everything to please You.

For You, O Christ, our God,

are the enlightenment of our souls and bodies;

and to You we render glory,

together with Your eternal Father,

and with Your all holy,

life-creating Spirit,

now and ever, and forever.

Amen.

Open our eyes

God of goodness,

how many times

have we passed

through the door

of our homes

and missed

the hungers of you?

We find ourselves

laden with bread,

yet many

still cry for

mere crumbs.

What is wrong with our vision?

Why does it tunnel

down our paths

and capture

only the poor

of our choosing?

Why are we

so narrow

in defining needs?

Jesus sensed

what could not

be seen

and noticed needs

as in rhythm

with his every breath.

Teach us through him

to be attentive to our actions,

worthy of our words,

generous with our giving

so that another's thirst

may reach our own throats

and be satisfied by the cooling waters

of our compassion.

Amen.
