A Lenten Litany ~

Let my fasting turn me to the needs of others,
and not my own hungers.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Let my charity be a sign of your generosity,
not an occasion for sinful pride.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Let my prayer make me a witness to your grace,
leading me to acts of justice.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Let my sufferings make me one with Christ,
who suffered for our salvation.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Let my good deeds not be merely for show,
but for helping your kingdom come.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Let my broken relationships be healed in reconciliation,
leading me beyond my isolation.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Let my very life be consecrated to your will,
as this Lent leads to Easter's new life.
Have Mercy, O Lord.

Have Mercy, O Lord!
Let my every thought, word, and deed
during these Lenten days
be a sign of my love for you,
and of your love for the world.
Amen.
