Today's Prayer
Almighty God,
by whose grace alone we are accepted
and called to your service:
strengthen us by your Holy Spirit
and make us worthy of our calling;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
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 almost 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."
