Please pray for all those involved in the Ukrainian War

Lent Prayer ;
Lord,
your commandment of love is so simple
and so challenging.
Help me to let go of my pride,
to be humble in my penance.
I want only to live the way you ask me to love,
to love the way you ask me to live.
I ask this through your son, Jesus,
who stands at my side
today and always.
Morning
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy, Amen.
Evening
As I lay down in sleep
to safely wake again only by Your grace,
keep me in a joyful,
lively remembrance that whatever happens,
I will someday know my final rising–the resurrection–
because Jesus Christ lay down in death for me,
and rose for my justification.
In His name I pray, Amen.
(Tim Keller)
