Second Sunday of Lent

Reflection

“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart. It is a simple look turned toward heaven. It is a cry of recognition and of love embracing both trial and joy.” –St. Therese of Lisieux 

Prayer

Holy Spirit,

In times that often feel uncertain, we are committed to remaining people of prayer, willing to turn our hearts towards you every day, and to welcome your presence among us. Give us the strength to embrace both the trials and joys of the road ahead and to receive all that you have in store for us with grace and humility. With gratitude for your promise of accompaniment, may our devotion to prayer empower us to invest your world with more faith, hope, and love, in all that we do and say. Amen.
