Loving God,
During this sacred season of Lent, bring us closer to you.
Prepare a place in our homes and hearts for silence so that we may encounter your presence.
Grant us a generous heart so that we give to those most in need.
Help us to refrain from those things in life that impact the wellbeing of our body and soul.
May this Lent be time for us to develop and strengthen our faith in you.
Amen.
