A Reminder for Lent

Begin with the Sign of the Cross

Before diving into prayer, take a moment to make the Sign of the Cross:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Power of Daily Prayer

During Lent, we are called to deepen our relationship with God through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Prayer strengthens our faith, helps us reflect on Christ’s sacrifice, and brings us closer to God’s mercy. Whether in the morning, at meals, or before bed, every prayer draws us nearer to Him.

Pray the Our Father

Jesus Himself taught us this prayer:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Seek Mary’s Intercession with the Hail Mary

As we walk through Lent, let us turn to Mary, who always leads us to Jesus:

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Give Glory to God

Let us finish with praise to the Holy Trinity:

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

A Final Lenten Reminder

As we journey through Lent, let us remain steadfast in prayer and sacrifice. Remember, today is Friday—abstain from meat as an offering to God.

May this season bring you closer to Christ. God bless you!

Walking in Faith, Growing in Grace

Every day is an opportunity to draw closer to God. In prayer, in scripture, and in the moments of stillness, He speaks to our hearts. Faith is not just about knowing—it’s about living, trusting, and walking in His light.

Through life’s joys and challenges, we are called to remain steadfast, to seek Him in all things, and to reflect His love in our words and actions. Even the smallest acts of faith— a whispered prayer, a kind word, a moment of gratitude— bring us deeper into His presence.

May this space be a source of encouragement, reflection, and renewal for you. Wherever you are on your journey, know that God is with you. Keep the faith, stay rooted in prayer, and continue seeking His truth.
