Reflection

A Prayer for Lent 

Loving Father,

I invite you into my life today

and make myself available to you.

Help me to become the-best-version-of-myself

by seeking your will and becoming a living example

of your love in the world.

Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change

in order for me to carry out the mission

and to experience the joy you have imagined for my life.

Inspire me to live the Catholic faith

in ways that are dynamic and engaging.

Show me how to best get involved in the life of my school and parish.

Make our community hungry for best practices

and continuous learning.

Give me courage when I am afraid,

hope when I am discouraged,

and clarity in times of decision.

Teach me to enjoy uncertainty and lead your Church

to become all you imagined it would be

for the people of our times.

Amen.
