Lord of hope, help me to grow in the practice of self-giving, lived as a prayerful request for your nearness, so that I might be freed from every desire that does not have you at its heart.
Most merciful Father, do not allow to turn inward or away from you in my daily trials and suffering; allowing my sufferings to become a place of union with you. Teach me to seek your face and to live beneath your graze of love.
Heavenly Father, thank you for directing all things by your loving wisdom. Please give me the grace to trust more fully in your wisdom and in your love. Amen.
Sunday, the Lord's Day, is the principal day for the celebration of the Eucharist because it is the day of the Resurrection. It is the pre-eminent day of the liturgical assembly, the day of the Christian family, and the day of joy and rest from work. Sunday is "the foundation and kernel of the whole liturgical year" (SC 106)
Most merciful Father, grant me the grace to turn to you from my sins. Keep me mindful of your Son's mission of mercy, so that I may grow in holiness of life and attain the banquet of heaven.
God, merciful and just, with your help may we courageously fast at your death so that we might experience the joys of the wedding feast at your Resurrection.
Heavenly Father, grant us a fervent spirit of love for your Son Jesus as we begin these days of Lent. Give to our hearts especially a desire for prayer.

In John Main’s talk “The Way of the Mantra” he says that the invitation of the Christian life is to be one with Christ; to live your life in union with Christ. Silent prayer is a communion in which we discover within ourselves a oneness with Christ. This union takes us right out of ourselves as we become the people we are called to be; rooted and founded in love.
We hear John Main saying in his talk entitled, Set your mind on the Kingdom, “Jesus is at the center of our soul.” By setting our minds on the Kingdom of God and establishing conscious contact with our own being, we are essentially maintaining our Christ Connection.
