Lord of all mercy, as we begin our Lenten journey, help us to open our hearts to Your transforming grace.
Give us the strength to carry our daily crosses and to follow in the footsteps of Your beloved Son. May this season of prayer and sacrifice bring us closer to Your divine presence.
We lift up Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in New Milton and all other churches, that they may be beacons of faith and love in their communities. Strengthen their leaders and parishioners as they work to spread Your Gospel.
Purify our hearts, Lord, so that in all we do, we may seek to glorify You. Help us to trust in Your mercy and to surrender our worries at the foot of the Cross. May we grow in love for You and for one another.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
