| Spring Morning Light |
As Christ is Transfigured on the mountain/ revealing God's own Glory for us,/ may we shine too,/ carrying Christ-Light into our world often darkened,/ sour and sad./ We pray to the Lord.
At the start of Lent,/ Pope Francis calls Christians to root out distrust,/ apathy,/ resignation,/ showing off,/ self-pity and unproductive thoughts,/ which might cause us to forget our encounter with others./ We ask the blessings of self-awareness and humility./ We pray to the Lord.
Bless the people who are heroes and helpers to others;/ cure those,/ especially in leadership/ who are self-serving,/ protectionist or obstructionist./ We pray to the Lord.
Bless the people who are heroes and helpers to others;/ cure those,/ especially in leadership/ who are self-serving,/ protectionist or obstructionist./ We pray to the Lord.
In the Lenten Springtime/ may we learn something new about ourselves,/ about God and others./ Keep us from discouragement/ with gifts of hope,/ strength and confident joy./ We pray to the Lord.
The nation is sorely divided after still more deadly gun violence./ Teach us what we need to know to safeguard the citizens of this nation,/ especially the young people./ Heal the pitiful bitterness which weakens us./ We pray to the Lord.
We ask healing too for ourselves and our families/ where we are feeling stressed,/ failed,/ vulnerable or confounded./ Out of that pain may we learn a compassionate solidarity with those who are burdened with suffering./ We pray to the Lord.
