Father in Heaven,
In our harried and hurried hearts,
May we attune to the speed of love
And the rhythms of grace to move slowly.

God who knows suffering,
remind us this Lenten season
that the hard and heavy we carry
is not without good and Holy Company.

God who knows resurrection,
remind us this Lenten season
that even the tiniest glimmer of hope
exclaims, “this is not the end.”

May 40 Days
Of Lenten wilderness lead
To a greater awareness
Of our great need,
And of Your great love.

May your mercy bring healing.
May your grace make us whole.
And may your love bring us at the last
To our eternal home.

May we walk through this season
And walk through our neighborhoods With Your eyes
With Your heart
And with Your love
