Retreat prayer

Prayer for Lent

Lord God, throughout this solemn season of Lent, we ask for Your guidance to walk this path of spiritual discipline. Grant us the strength to commit to fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, drawing us nearer to Your holy presence. Open our hearts to the quiet whispers of Your voice, leading us to deeper conversion. During these forty days, let us reflect on the life and sacrifices of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May we grow in love and service, reaching out to those in need with compassion and mercy. Help us to cherish this time of introspection and to emerge from it renewed in spirit and commitment to Your calling. May we honor You in our thoughts, words, and deeds, and be ever mindful of the grace that sustains us through our journey. Amen. Amen
