Morning Prayer - March 12, 2022 | Saturday in the First Week of Lent

The first week of Lent is a week of seedtime: let us entrust to God's goodness the fruits of the earth and the work of human hands, so that all may receive daily bread, so that hunger may be taken from the earth. 

We pray for all our brothers and sisters who are suffering from all forms of hunger. May the Lord use our hearts and hands so that they may experience the Lord's nearness and love.

Morning Prayer - March 10, 2022 | Thursday in the First Week of Lent

"Have mercy on me, God, have mercy, for in you my soul has taken refuge." - Psalm 57:1

In certain ways the Lenten Christian is like the Jew in exile. He is still exposed to the attacks of the enemies. Lent, like the exile in Babylon, is a time of cleansing. It intends to create in us a greater desire and longing for deliverance which God has promised us through our savior Jesus Christ.

Morning Prayer - March 9, 2022 | Wednesday in the First Week of Lent

Optional Memorial - St. Frances of Rome, Religious

"The Lord, your God, is God indeed, the faithful God who keeps his merciful covenant..." - Lauds, March 9

May we be faithful in offering to God our praise and thanksgiving for the gift of his abiding love and mercy to us.

Today, we also celebrate the memorial of St. Frances of Rome.

In the fifteenth century St. Frances, among the noble ladies of that great city, showed herself an example of what a Christian wife should be. After the death of her husband she retired from the world and lived in a monastery of Oblates that she had founded under the Rule of St. Benedict. God favored her with the visible presence of her guardian angel with whom she conversed familiarly.

Morning Prayer - March 8, 2022 | Tuesday in the First Week of Lent

Optional Memorial - St. John of God, Religious

"God is love! Whoever abides in love; abides in God and God in him" (motto of St. John's community)

St. John of God, who was of Portuguese descent, was first a shepherd, a dealer and then a soldier. At the age of forty he was converted, and devoted himself to the care of those sick in mind, showing himself in this thankless task to be a true innovator and a saint of super-human heroism. He founded the Order of the Brothers Hospitallers, which bears his name. He died at Granada in 1550. Pope Leo XIII declared him Patron of Hospitals and Patron of the Sick. (Catholic Culture)

Morning Prayer - March 7, 2022 | Monday in the First Week of Lent

Ash Wednesday, the days immediately following, and the first two weeks of Lent are penitential in character. The prayers and readings of daily Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours calls us to an extended examination of conscience: How am I living as a witness to the Kingdom? Have I been the missionary of the Gospel I am called to be? What is there in me that needs purification, if I am to deepen my friendship with Jesus? (Catholic Culture)
