Prayer: A Prayer for Lent by Edward Hays

May you live these Lenten days
not in purple penitential denial
but in the joyfulness of the
intimate embrace of your Blessed God.

May you hear on the Lenten winds
your Beloved calling you daily
to go apart from your routine time
to spend desert time with your God.

Then your heart can be freshly aflame
with a lover’s delight in your God.

May you have a blessed and grace-filled
Lenten season so as to be a new person
in Christ in alleluia joy on Holy Easter.
