A STEWARDSHIP PRAYER for Lent

God of mercy,
You have given us this special time
to reflect on our lives,
embrace the Good News
and draw closer to You.
During this season of Lent
help us use this time
to fast and pray,
be more generous
and show others
how to live in Christ.
Let us see each day of this season
as a new opportunity to renew
our lives
and gain a deeper appreciation
of Your active presence
in our hearts and our community
of faith.
Give us the grace to see Your
face in others,
especially the poor
and those who suffer.
And through your Spirit,
Rekindle in us the fire of Your love
so that we may be better stewards
of Your redeeming work throughout
the world.
We ask this through Jesus, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You and
the Holy Spirit, One God, forever
