Lent

Loving God,

Bless us as we enter these forty days of Lent.

May this be a time when we reach out to find you.

May our fasting be a hunger for justice;

our alms, a making of peace;

and our prayer,

the chant of humble and grateful hearts.

Bless our efforts to grow in our love for you,

in our generosity towards others,

and our willingness to live our lives fully.

Amen
