Here is today’s prayer for the season of Lent… As always, these come from Stanley Hauerwas’ Prayers Plainly Spoken.
GOD of light, shine in our darkness that we may see that this world, for all its distortion by sin, is still your world. Give us the virtue of courage to fear rightly that which we should rightly fear. Give us the virtue of live that we might rightly hate that which is hateful. Give us the virtue of prudence that we might know what to fear and hate. For this task we pray that we might learn to trust one another, as we are incapable of being faithful alone. AMEN Stanley Hauerwas
