FORTH WEEK OF LENT

LENT WEEK FOUR
                                                           

                              PRAYER 

O Lord, hear my voice when I call; have mercy and answer me.

Of you my heart has spoken, ‘’Seek his face.’’

It is your face, O Lord, that I seek; hide not your face from me.

Dismiss not your servant in anger, you have been my help.

Today's Gospel on the Prodigal Son: Luke 15:1-3,11-32

God's forgiveness and Mercy.

We see the Mercy of God  our heavenly Father who is ever ready to receive us when we come back   to HIM.

 

   PRAYER 

Lord Jesus, I offer you my whole past personal history. You alone understand me perfectly. You alone know perfectly all that has happened to me, all that I have undergone, all that has made me who I am right now.

You alone have the white stone with my secret and true name written on it; you alone hold the secret of my identity, of who I am. You alone know me perfectly and love me unconditionally.

Bring to my mind whatever memories, you want to heal. Teach me to take each of those memories one at a time, remembering how it was, and contemplating you in each painful memory. Heal me of my past – or hurts I have suffered, of the consequences of my sins and the sins of others, of  the  results of not being shown enough attention or love or respect.

I put myself entirely in your hands with my whole life.  Come Lord Jesus. Amen.
