“Lent is a time to slow down, look within, and let God renew your heart. Small steps of faith today can lead to a stronger spirit tomorrow.”
Weekly Prayer:
Lord of our faith journey, grant that we may come to you as your children. May we come to your Spirit, that something of trust and perseverance may be born in us for our life on earth. May we always be loyal and full of hope, working and striving not only for what is earthly, but for the tasks that have been laid on us for your kingdom and its righteousness. Let new light shine out among us again.
