Lent 2008 - 4th. Tuesday

"Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise."

Joyful praise in Lent?

I'm not sure I always feel that.

I ask you to help me prepare to understand
and embrace the paschal mystery in my life.

I don't always see the beauty and mystery of this season
and often I run from the pain.

Help me to see how your saving grace
and your loving touch in my life
can fill me with joyful praise of the salvation
you have sent to me.
