Lent 2020
May you find inspiration in the following texts
Let us turn to the Father and ask him for the healing and strength we need this Lent:
That this season of Lent will be a time of greater prayer and fervent devotion for us and for all the Church.
That these days of Lent will be marked by earnest efforts at peacemaking throughout the world.
That we will be generous in our almsgiving this Lent, and attentive to the poor.
That God will repair all the broken relationships in our lives and make us merciful, gentle, and forgiving.
That this Lent we will be faithful to fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, and to all the ways that the Lord sanctifies us.
That God will rescue all those who live at a distance from him because of self-absorption or sin.
Loving Father, bless our Lent so that we will live as your holy children.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
