 Dear God, You are the source of all hope and I come before you as your faithful servant. Help me to see the possibilities that lie ahead and trust in Your divine purpose for my life. May Your hope shine brightly in me and through me as You guide my steps to face each day with confidence and trust in Your merciful power. Even when I find it hard to see the way, fill my heart with hope and grant me both the strength and the grace to persevere. Amen

Lent commemorates the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan. Once Lent begins on Ash Wednesday we are asked to develop a closer relationship with God. Formed, a tool provided by our parish to help you create a successful Lenten journey, is ready to assist you with many resources. One of these is titles "How to LENT". There you will find that the three Lenten pillars of "Prayers", "Fasting" and "Almsgiving" are each offered in separate presentations. Go to www.FORMED.org to access these programs.
