Today's Prayer
God of our salvation,
help us to turn away from those habits
which harm our bodies and poison our minds
and to choose again your gift of life,
revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Fifth Sunday before Lent
From the AFP this week...
one small child's prayer offering
Words are unimportant in approaching God. Instead, let us go to God with the same attitude one child had
as she sat a
tlmost hidden in the midst of a field of waving wheat.
When her grandfather went looking for her,
from a distance he heard her going through the entire alphabet,
softly saying, "A, B, C, D, E…"
Curious, her grandfather asked,
"What are you doing?" "I'm praying, Grandpa.
But I don't know the right words,
so I'm saying all the letters
and letting God put them together."
