Many people will go to church tomorrow 
    to receive ashes.
And many people are thinking 
    about going to church tomorrow to receive ashes...

Let's pray right now then for one another
    and for all who'll come to church tomorrow
        to begin the season of Lent...

Let's pray for those who've been away,
    who are thinking of coming home:
        may the Spirit guide them
        to join us in prayer...

Let's pray for all of us:
    a new beginning in faith,
    a new beginning in prayer,
    a new beginning with God
        in this season of Lent...

Let's pray for a season of letting go
    whatever comes between us
        and the love of God
    and whatever keeps us apart
        from our neighbor...

Let's pray for a season of generous hearts,
    a season of serving others,
        especially those who are most in need...

Let's pray that through

    prayer, fasting and serving the poor 

the Spirit will open our minds and hearts 

    to know how God wants to move in our hearts

        and change our lives this Lent... 

Let's pray a springtime of renewal
    leading us to the joy of Easter
        and the peace of the Risen Jesus...  

For all this, let us pray to the Lord:
    Lord, hear our prayer!

Amen.
