Praying through Lent: Ash Wednesday


Prayer for Ash Wednesday:



   Lord Jesus Christ you gave your life for the salvation of all people. For you have been merciful to us, and have given us the way to joyful hope in you.

We beg you to pour your mercy on us while we journey through this season of prayer, fasting, and alms giving. We are all sinners, and desire to reform our hearts and lives so that we may receive your graces with our whole being. Help us to be humble in our words and actions. We seek to find you in the silence and to sharpen our faith through these acts of penance.

     During this Lenten season, may we be a blessing to others and ambassadors of your love, your sacrifice, and your mercy.  

"Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation."

We ask all of this in your most holy and perfect name. Amen.
