A Prayer for Ash Wednesday:
Merciful God,
you called us forth
from the dust of the earth;
you claimed us for Christ
in the waters of Baptism.
Look upon us
as we enter these Forty Days
bearing the mark of ashes,
and bless our journey
through the desert of Lent
to the font of rebirth.
May our fasting
be hunger for justice;
our alms, a making of peace;
our prayer, the chant
of humble and grateful hearts.
All that we do and pray
is in the name of Jesus,
for in his Cross you proclaim your love
forever and ever. Amen.
