Getting ready for Lent 2012

Our Father in heaven, grant that I may love on this day with your perfect love every person I come in contact with, that I may choose to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and shelter the destitute, in Your strength.
I pray for each of our young people, LORD, please grant them a peace in their hearts; turn their hearts toward you, and bring them to know joy in the Holy Spirit. I ask this in Jesus' name, amen.
