Lent: Day 17

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the sacrifice you made for all of us. Your dying on the cross provides us continuously with the gift of eternal life. You have already chosen us, all of humanity, to be with you forever in Paradise. The rest is up to us, yet you have even shown us the way to get there.

As we humbly sacrifice in your name during this time, let us remember that the purpose is that Lent serves as a reminder of the journey’s path we need to take. It is a time to ask for and receive your continued guidance along the way. God, we ask you to allow us to have the courage to accept the gift you have given to us all. Amen.
