Dear Parents:

 

Lenten Prayer

 

Dear God,  During this time of year we prepare for Jesus’ Resurrection.  Jesus saves us from sin and we show thanks for him by sacrificing something that has an importance to us.  We must learn that all of us must be thankful for what we have and our family and friends.  Also Lord, lead us not into temptation during this time but follow your footsteps.  Through Lent we learn from our sins and become holier people.  Amen
