St. Anne’s Society Bake Sale
Saturday, April 13th & Sunday, April 14th
After each Mass
In the Vestibule of the Church
If time permits nothing else, we can use these prayers each day of Lent. The Fifth Week of Lent
Sunday My loving Lord, it's so hard to love the world sometimes and to love it the way Jesus did seems impossible. Help me to be inspired by his love and guided by his example. Most of all, I want to accept that I can't do it alone, and that trying is an arrogance of self-centeredness. I need you, dear God, to give me support in this journey. Show me how to unlock my heart so that I am less selfish. Let me be less fearful of the pain and darkness that will be transformed by you into Easter joy. Monday God of love, I know that you are the source of all that is good and graced in my life. Help me to move from the life of sin to which I so often cling, into the new life of grace you offer me. You know what I need to prepare for your kingdom. Bless me with those gifts. Tuesday Loving God, You have heard my complaints, my impatience. Sometimes I become frightened when I move away from you. Guide my heart back to you. Help me to think beyond my own wants and to desire only to do you will. Thank you for the many blessings in my life and for the ways I feel your presence. Wednesday Loving Creator, I know in your great love for me, you see the deep sorrow in my heart. Hear my prayers which are offered with such trust in you. Be with me in both mind and heart as I renew my life in your spirit. Thursday Lord, all I want is to be faithful to you in my life, but so often I fail. Free me from my many sins and guide me to the life I will share with you. I wait for your promise to be fulfilled with great hope in my heart and your praise on my lips. Friday Most forgiving Lord, again and again you welcome me back into your loving arms. Grant me freedom from the heavy burdens of sin that weigh me down and keep me so far from you. Saturday Loving God, Your eternal watchfulness keeps me safe from harm. I am filled with a great
happiness when I feel your endless love for me. Thank you for your care for me, one of your
children. I ask you to protect from harm those who will soon be your children, joined in the joy
of your church. Please continue to pour out your blessings on all of us who have been given
the life-giving waters of baptism.
