after reading hazel's resolution, i'm thking of gg for the stations of the cross every Friday, and to pray more especially on the fridays of Lent. most imptly, bring Christ to my daily life...
"Almighty God and Father, may you give us,
Your children during this Lenten season the grace to pray more and to draw you closer.
May Your Son Jesus Christ walk with us in prayers and fasts.
May we, Your children resist temptation from the Evil One.
Protect us from the Evil One and from a sudden death.
I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ and through the prayers of Mary, my Mother.
Amen."
