March 9, 2025 – First Sunday of Lent


March 9, 2025 – First Sunday of Lent
Lord God, as we enter this first Sunday of Lent, we recall Jesus’ time in the wilderness, where He fasted and prayed. 

Teach us to resist temptation as He did and to rely on Your Word as our source of strength. 

May we embrace this season as a time of renewal.

Bless Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in New Milton and all other churches, that they may be sanctuaries of faith and spiritual growth. May their worship and ministries inspire deeper conversions in the hearts of the faithful.

Guide us, Lord, through the trials of this season. Strengthen us to bear our crosses with patience and joy, knowing that You are always with us. 

May our Lenten sacrifices lead us to a deeper union with You and prepare us for the glory of Easter. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

Amen.
