That this season of Lent will be a time of greater prayer and fervent devotion for us and for all the Church.<\/p>\n
That these days of Lent will be marked by earnest efforts at peacemaking throughout the world.<\/p>\n
That we will be generous in our almsgiving this Lent, and attentive to the poor.<\/p>\n
