A short prayer for help

We fly to your patronage,

O holy mother of God;

despise not our prayers in our necessities,

but deliver us always from all dangers,

O glorious and blessed virgin.

Amen.

"I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten” — Joel 2:25

The meaning of the restoration of the years must be the restoration of those fruits and of those harvests which the locusts consumed. You cannot have back your time. But there is a strange and wonderful way in which God can give back to you the wasted blessings, the unripened fruits of years over which you mourned. (source)

Almighty and ever living God,

you invite us deeper into your world, your people, your Lent.

May this time be one of outward focus;

seeking you in those we often ignore.

Help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.

Give us hearts hungry to serve you

and those who need what we have to give. Amen.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

and Wisdom to know the difference.
