First Sunday of Lent

First Sunday of Lent

Reflection

“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”” ~ Mark 1:14-15

 Prayer

Merciful God, as we celebrate the season of Lent, renew our dedication to proclaiming the kingdom of God. May the example and the witness of your son Jesus inspire us to repent of everything in our lives that is unworthy of your loving kindness. May our celebration of this sacred season deepen our relationship with you and foster a commitment to serve your kingdom. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Call to Action
