A prayer for Lent
On behalf of James Armour, senior vice president of mission & ministry at the Sisters of Charity Health System, we are pleased to present this prayer for Ash Wednesday, which marks the first day of Lent:
Throughout these days of Lent, may our hearts and hands join the most vulnerable. The Jesus of LENT walks this journey.
May our hearts and hands join those with substance use disorders. The Jesus of HEALING walks this recovery journey.
May our hearts and hands join the lonely elderly and people experiencing homelessness. The Jesus of COMMUNITY walks this journey.
May our hearts and hands join those trapped by poverty and inequity. The Jesus of JUSTICE walks this journey.
Jesus, during this season of Lent, You walk with us in our struggles. We walk with You on Your journey to the cross. May we act on what we see and bring Your hope and healing to all we serve through the essential ministries of the Sisters of Charity Health System. We pray especially for our own ministry and the people we serve.
We trust and hope in a God of compassion and peace, resurrection and life. AMEN.
