DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER
In Jesus Christ,
we are called to unity – a unity with him and with those around us. When we
come together as children of God, we can bring great hope and love into our
world.
Father,
You created us in your image
and said that each of us is beautifully,
fearfully, and wonderfully made.
Help us to see you in ourselves
and to build the kingdom of God on earth.
During our Lenten journey,
help us to give more, pray more, and fast,
so that we may celebrate Easter with great
enthusiasm.
Amen
