Prayer

Loving 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 rediscover the grace of a prayerful life.

Help me to fast from those things that threaten the wellbeing of body and soul and remind me of the grace of simplicity.

Enlarge my heart so that I give to those in need and, in so doing, rediscover the grace of gratitude and generosity.

May this season be a grace filled time to rekindle my love for and faith in you.

Amen
