Prayer: Jesus, dear Savior, as I begin this season of Lent, I know that I am on a sacred journey to you. I am on a path to holiness. Teach me how to be kind and gentle with everyone I encounter on this path. Help me grow in my love for you and to express this love through kindness in my dealings with all others. Amen.
