Return To Your God
With Your Whole Heart
Even now the Lord says,
Return to me with all your heart,
with fasting,
with weeping,
with mourning;
Rend your heart, not your garment.
Return your God, gracious and
compassionate.
Joel 2:12, 13
Signed with the cross using ashes from the burnt palms of last year’s Palm Sunday, we are reminded at the beginning of this Lent of the three traditional Lenten practices.
Fasting Our thirst and hunger for God
Prayer A contemplative gaze on Jesus’ Way
Alms-Giving Sharing our abundance with others
Prayer Together
May God fill our hearts with the love that bears all things,
Believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things,
Through Christ our companion on the journey. AMEN.
I will take your heart of stone and place a heart within you,
A heart of compassion and love
Lenten Practice
Throughout Lent, collect stones of all sizes, color and shape.
Build a sacred pile of stones symbolizing the promise of God that is being fulfilled in your heart and life. Let them remind you to let go of your ‘Stoney Heart’ and build Strong Relationships in your family, parish, country, world and all of Creation we are called to steward.
