Our Family Lenten Journey

A Lenten Prayer for Families

God of mercy, You call us to recognize you in our sisters and brothers and to care for those most in need.  This Lent, ignite your love in us so that through our prayer, sacrificing and giving, we may support all who experience hunger in body, heart and spirit.  Amen.
