TO BE SAID DAILY Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, during the Holy Season of Lent You call us to closer union with Yourself. Help us to prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery with mind and heart renewed. Give us a spirit of loving reverence for You, our Father, and of willing service to our neighbor. As we recall the great events that gave us new life in Christ, bring the image of Your Son to perfection within our soul. |
This great season of grace
is Your gift to Your family to renew us in spirit. Give us strength to purify our heart,
control our desires, and so serve You in freedom. Teach us how to live in this passing
world with our heart set on the world that will never end.We ask for the grace to master our sinfulness and conquer
our pride. We want to show to those in need Your goodness to us by being kind to all.
Through our observance of Lent, help us to correct our faults and raise our mind to You,
and thus grow in holiness that we deserve the reward of everlasting life.
In Your mercy grant us the following
requests:
|
| Father, through your love for us and through your Sufferings, Death and Resurrection, may we gain eternal life with You in heaven. |
Here say the antiphons below, according to the day. Then say: |
| OUR Father....... HAIL, Mary...... Almighty and Everlasting God, You have given the human race Jesus Christ our Saviour as a model of humility. He fulfilled Your Will by becoming Man and giving His life on the Cross. Help us to bear witness to You by following His example of suffering and make us worthy to share in His Resurrection, through Him who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen |
