Prayers of the Month

Alternative Collects for the three Sundays before Lent, as we prepare to keep the season.

The Third Sunday before Lent Eternal God, whose Son went among the crowds and brought healing with his touch: help us to show his love,
in your Church as we gather together, and by our lives as they are transformed into the image of Christ our Lord.          

The Second Sunday before Lent
Almighty God, give us reverence for all creation and respect for every person, that we may mirror your likeness in Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Sunday next before Lent
Holy God, you know the disorder of our sinful lives: set straight our crooked hearts, and bend our wills to love your goodness and your glory
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
