Prayer for a Fruitful Lent
My precious and crucified Lord, I offer You this Lent. I offer it toYou with total abandonment and trust. I offer You my prayers, sacrifices and my very life this day. Do with me, Lord, as You will. I pray that this Lent will be fruitful. I know You have much to say to me and much to do in my life. May this Lent be a time through which Your mercy is poured in abundance into my soul, and into the souls of all Your faithful.
Dearest Lord, help me to especially see my sin this Lent. Humble me so that I may see clearly. Give me courage and strength to confess my sins,
and to turn from them with all my heart.
Enlighten me with Your Holy Word, dear Lord. Help me to come to know You and to deepen the gift of faith in my life. Show me the plan You have for me,and place my feet upon the path You have chosen.
My suffering Lord, I thank You for the fullness of Your perfect Sacrifice. Thank You for holding nothing back, giving Your life to the last drop of blood. May I offer You my very life as a sacrifice, trusting in Your mercy with every offering. Keep me faithful to my Lenten promises, and bring forth new life through these sacrifices of love. Strengthen my prayer and make me holy. Help me to turn to You each day, seeking Your sacred and pierced Heart.
Blessed Mother, you stood by your Son in His suffering and death; stand by me, I pray, as I journey through this life. Pray for me and offer me to Your Son, that He may take me into His loving embrace.
Lord, Jesus, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Lord, Jesus, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Lord, Jesus, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Mother Mary, Mother of our Crucified Lord, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen.

Mothers of any age & stage & moms-to-be are invited to join us for an 8 week journey that will validate the dignity and importance of motherhood, by helping mothers to recognize 8 uniquely feminine strengths, and how to use those strengths to find peace, purpose, balance, and joy in being the woman God created and called them to be.
Mothers possess a certain special array of gifts, given by God and lived out in particular through the vocation of motherhood, that bless the family and the world. It’s a God given gift to a mother to be so loving and so caring. A male cannot duplicate a female in the family. Women are unique and they are the heart of the family. Women are marked by God to be soldiers for Him and Her family.
