Dear God,
During the sacred season of Lent,
bring me closer to you.
Prepare a place in my home and
heart for silence and solitude,
so that I may re-discover the grace
of a prayer-full life.
Enlarge my heart so that I give to
those in need and, in doing so
re-discover the grace of
gratitude and generosity.
Help me fast from those things
That threaten the well-being of body
and soul, and remind me of the
grace and simplicity.
May this season be a grace-filled
time to rekindle my
Love for and Faith in You.
Amen.
