PRAYER FOR ASH WEDENESDAY
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Heavenly Father,
as we gather on this sacred day of Ash Wednesday, we humbly bow before You, recognizing our human frailty and our need for Your divine grace. As the ashes are placed upon our foreheads, may they serve as a tangible reminder of our mortality and our utter dependence on You, our Creator and Almighty God. .
Lord Jesus Christ,
during this season of Lent, grant us the wisdom to turn away from sin and to embrace the path of righteousness. Help us to follow in Your footsteps, showing love, forgiveness, and mercy to all those we encounter. May our hearts be open to the needs of others, and may we extend a hand of compassion to those who are suffering.
Holy Spirit,
guide us in our journey of faith, illuminating our minds and strengthening our resolve to live according to Your will. Grant us the courage to confront our weaknesses and the grace to seek reconciliation with You and with one another. May this time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving draw us closer to You and deepen our relationship with You.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
as we embark on this Lenten journey, may Your presence be our constant companion. Grant us the grace to persevere in our commitment to grow in holiness and to become more like You each day. We ask for Your forgiveness for the times we have fallen short, and we trust in Your abundant mercy to renew and transform us.
Amen.
