Dear Parents:
                                                                              Lenten Prayer

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving us your only son, Jesus Christ.  You took your son's life to save our souls.  Lord, we praise you for your unconditional love.  You sent your son, and in return, we should sacrifice one of our desires.  We love and worship you for everything you have done.  You are always with us, every step of the way.  You protect and guide us to do the right thing.  Help us to carry out our Lenten sacrifices.  Lord you are our savior.  We pray that you help the sick, hospitalized, and homebound.     Amen.
