God our loving and merciful Father, guide us as we begin the Season of Lent today. May the Ash put on our foreheads remind us of our mortality and the shortness of our life here on earth. May this season be a moment to deepen our faith, hope and love for you, as well as our brothers and sisters. May we spend more time in prayer, change for the better and do good deeds. Help us to be better Christians. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
