The Lord Is Near

Oh, Lord my God, allow me the grace during this Lenten Season to let You get to know Your will for me. Give me Your grace to spend more time reflecting on Your Word in Scripture, the Gospels, the Psalms. I believe in this way You can strengthen me to overcome my temptations, as Jesus was able to do in His temptations in the desert in today’s Gospel. I can often feel weak at times and my sinfulness can lead me astray. Allow me to remember, as the Letter to the Romans today, that Your Word is always with me, in my heart and in my mind. I ask this grace of you today, O Lord my God, in the power of Your Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Fr. Ignatius Kissel, OSM
