Lent, a Season of Hope: Preparing our Hearts for Easter, Day 12
“O, Spirit of the Living God, breathe upon us Thy gracious power. As the coming of spring rouses Nature from winter sleep, so may Thy Spirit revive us, giving us new hope and livelier faith. If we have never before been conscious of our need, make our souls hungry for Thee, O God, that we may no longer be content to be half alive, which is half dead. Give us fullness of life, set free from fear and doubt, that we may find new joy in our labors. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen”
~ The Reverend Peter Marshall, 1902-1949
