Lent continues

Reflection

“For you are not pleased with sacrifices; should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it. My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.”
–Psalm 51:18-19

Prayer

God of the humble,

As the Church continues to journey through Lent, lead us deeper in your way of humility and gratitude for the ministry you have called us to carry. No matter how long we’ve been serving, inspire each one of us to remain connected to the deeper meaning and purpose that animates your mission among us. We are privileged each day to serve as your hands and feet to our neighbors in need. Help us, therefore, to be faithful to serve them in your name and to show them your love, spurning no one who comes through our doors. Amen.
