We seek your presence, O Lord. Do not hide your face from us as we offer you our prayers.

As this Lenten season of repentance and joy begins, we ask God to sustain us and show us mercy.

Unafraid of the great mission we have to spread the kingdom of God, we call on the power of God to listen to our prayers.
