Sunday, March 6: Lent II
Merciful God, in this season of waiting and anticipation, we come to you hopeful for the possibilities of new life. We await the coming of spring, when the sleeping creation will break forth and once again verdant life will grow. As we wait, cause new life to stir within each one of us, that we might prepare for a renewed and plentiful life. We pray in the name of the one who came to bring life. Amen.
Ryan McNally, St. Mark’s U.C., Cannifton, Ont.
