Praying Lent
This Year
Lent offers us all a very special
opportunity to grow in our relationship
with God and to deepen our commitment
to a way of life, rooted in our baptism.
In our busy world, Lent provides us
with an opportunity to reflect upon
our patterns, to pray more deeply,
experience sorrow for what we've done
and failed to do, and to be generous
to those in need. We offer resources
here to assist our entry into this
wonderful season, from our preparing
to begin Lent to our preparing to
celebrate the holy three days following
Lent. For centuries, the Liturgy of
the Hours and the Eucharist have guided
our Lenten reflection. Inspired
by these liturgies, we offer a simply
daily prayer for each day of Lent
and the Easter Tritium. Each
day, we share the Opening Prayer text
for that day's liturgy. This
prayer is simple and, in many cases,
memorable. It alone could be
repeated several times throughout
the day.
We also offer a link to the readings
of the day, a brief meditation, a
link to the Daily Reflection for that
day and Intercessions from the Liturgy
of the Hours. Each daily prayer
concludes with a spontaneous prayer
we composed, as an example of the
type of prayer each of us might pray,
in our own words, for that day.
We imagine that some will have the
time and desire to use all of the
resources here. Others may only
have time for the resources and the
Daily Reflections. Visit the
Site Index below to see what is available
and what will be added throughout
Lent. May Our Lord grant us all the
graces we need and desire.
