Prayer for Lent

Lord Jesus, You have given us this Holy Season to prepare for our entry into the wonder of your Holy Resurrection. As you rose from the dead, You gave us the promise that we, too, would never die unless we chose to separate ourselves from You by sin. Help us to deepen our understanding of this wonderful mystery, Your Resurrection that is so rich in meaning that we cannot fully comprehend it. Show us Your mercy as we struggle with works of mortification. Keep us always mindful of our need for You. Let this Lenten season be for each of us a time of spiritual growth. Walk with us through this season and be our constant companion throughout our lives. Amen
