Lent: an invitation to prayer and almsgiving
The entire month of March is lived in the spirit of Lent. Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are the ways Jesus has suggested to live this period.
Did you see our invitation to donate to the victims of the earthquake in Syria? Then take action and show your solidarity with our brothers and sisters affected over there.
Let us also join them in prayer.
Lenten Prayer
God, may your light guide my day, and your spirit bring me peace.
May I stand today in solidarity with all my brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering.
May we be united in your love, and may I work to build your kingdom here on earth.
Amen.
