Dear LifeSpring Family,
This past Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. We start the journey/countdown towards Easter, Sunday, April 4th. Dorothy and I observed Ash Wednesday with a meal consisting of vegetables and some fish. We also took some time to pray for those among us in the LifeSpring family. As we prepare for Good Friday and Easter, allow me to share with you a prayer for this Lent season.
Lent
“Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.”
(page 119 from The Divine Hour by Phyllis Tickle)
As you ponder on this prayer, listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to your spirit.
