Tuesday, March 29th

DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

We can think of times when people expected too much of us. We remember when we haven’t expected enough of ourselves. We can think of times when we haven’t felt appreciated. We remember when we haven’t praised others for the good use of their talents. Let us offer these memories to God.  

Father,

During this Lenten season

may we learn to value and appreciate one another,

bringing out the best in those around us.

May what is not good die within us,

and may we bring life to all we meet.

In Jesus’s name,

Amen
