thank you for the gift of life
and for always giving me another chance
to be forgiven and renewed in faith.
Help me to clean my own house this Lent
and set my priorities according to your will.
Renew the Church,
focus us beyond ourselves,
and help us become more powerful witnesses
of peace, justice and authenticity.
Amen.
