Lent is Good for your Health!
Did you know that the practices that Lent encourages are good for our physical, mental and spiritual health? *Meditative prayer has proven to help lower blood pressure and stress levels. *Refraining from overconsumption due to fasting leads to a healthier body, a sharper mind and a spirit more open to God. *Giving is also good for your health! People who give of their time and treasure have more energy, a stronger immune system, and a sense of overall well-being.

 
Lenten Prayer for Sundays
Heavenly Father, As I enter another week of my Lenten journey, guide me to the path that leads to you. Fill my heart with gratitude, patience, strength, and peace as I strive to become the-best-version-of-myself, honestly admitting my shortcomings and sins. As I renew my resolve each day to become a better person, let me hear your voice in the deepest reaches of my heart. Give me rest in you. Help me to accept others, showing them your great love instead of casting judgment. Stay with me through the busy days this week and remind me that when I need comfort, solitude, wisdom, or guidance, I can always turn to you. Help me develop discipline and generosity
through fasting and almsgiving and come closer to you through prayer this Lent. In your name I pray. Amen.
