Lent One
“Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Mt 4:4)
Priest:
God wills that, through Christ, we should all be saved. We pray to him that, though damaged by the effects of sin, we may change our lives, and turn again to our Father to ask forgiveness for our sins.
Reader:
We pray for the Church, with her mission of forgiveness,
that she may help everyone to recognise sin for what it is, something which destroys our loving relationship with God, and with each other.
Lord, hear us.
We pray for those who undergo difficult temptations in their daily lives,
that they may learn from the temptations of Jesus that the devil can be conquered, and that temptation in itself is not a sin.
Lord, hear us.
We pray for the sick and those who care for them,
that they may trust in God's loving mercy, and turn again to God, who alone has the power to heal and save.
Lord, hear us.
We pray for those departed this life,
that God may bring them from the darkness of death to the dawn of new life.
Lord, hear us.
We pray with our Lady as we say: Hail Mary … …
Let us pray to our heavenly Father in a moment of silence.
Priest:
Father, through the disobedience of Adam, we were made sinners. Through our obedience to you this Lent, may we grow in your grace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
