Lent 2026

Written By Frances Acosta,OFS

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love, compassion, and forgiveness, and we ask that you fill our hearts with compassion and forgiveness toward others. Help us to keep in mind the telos of life—to live forever with you—and guide us to return to you through our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Amen.
