Next Friday, March 25, we celebrate the feast of the Annunciation, when it was revealed to Mary, that she would conceive by the Holy Spirit and give birth to the Word of God, Jesus, our Savior. In her humility, Mary bowed to the will of God, “Be it done to me according to your will”.
We seek like Mary to give birth to, and make present, Jesus in our lives through our words, actions, and prayers. The following is a simple Lenten prayer that we can offer as we attempt to humbly make Jesus present in our lives.
God bless us all!

A Lenten Morning Prayer
Lord Jesus,
You lived and died for me.
Help me to keep that thought before me today
so that whatever life brings
whether it be success or failure,
satisfaction or disappointment, happiness or sorrow,
I may offer it to You.
Through me, may everyone I meet this day, see You Lord,
feel your presence and experience your love.
Lord, I offer You today.
May I serve You by serving others in Your Name
making all that I do, a gift of love and thanksgiving
for all You have done for me.
Amen.
