Prayer

Gracious God,

As we begin our Lenten journey, 

and through the next forty days of Lent, 

help us to see Jesus in everyone we meet. 

Teach us to serve Him in all persons, 

especially the poor, sick and lonely. 

By Your grace, may our prayers and sacrifices this Lent

help us grow closer to You and to Your one family in Jesus. 

Amen.
