Lenten Prayer
God of all, the love of your Son led him to except the suffering of the cross that we might glory in new life. Help us to be like Christ your Son, who loved the world and died for our salvation. Inspire us by his love, guide us by his example. Change our selfishness into self-giving. Help us to embrace the world you have given us, that we may transform the darkness of its pain into the life and joy of Easter. Amen.
