Lenten Prayer
Lord, at the beginning of Lent we were inspired and encouraged to make this a special time of prayer and penance. For the occasions we have failed to live up to what we could do, we are sorry and we ask your help to make the rest of Lent a time to bring us closer to you and more thoughtful of each other, especially those most in need of help. Amen.
