An #AshWednesday prayer: God of mercy, your Son Je An #AshWednesday prayer: God of mercy, your Son Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world. As we walk with Christ this Lenten season, may we learn to follow him and trust in your words of life. Give us courage and strength to share in his suffering, to serve others in love, and to honor you in word and deed. Amen. 🙏(Adapted from the LOM curriculum, “Living in God’s Time”)
