Our most holy Father,
Be with us in our journey to Easter.
Help us to know your deep love for us, and lead us away from those things that keep us from You.
We need you Lord.
Let us be your light here on earth, so that others may find their way out of the darkness, into your forgiving path, to truth and eternal life with You in heaven.
Thank you for your many blessings for us, and the many ways you grace our lives with your presence.
Thank you Jesus for giving us your most precious gift...your life, so that we may know life everlasting in God's kingdom.
