This the St. Ann's Lenten blog designed to help us all get the most out of Lent in 2010. The object of this exercise is to use Prayers of the People form VI found on 392 of the 1979 BCP (our red prayer book) to inspire us to do what we pray during this season. The hope is that this experience will inspire us to live this way more naturally. The blog is a way to hold us all accountable to one another as a community but more importantly to inspire one another with our success stories.
Each day this week (Mon.-Sat.) choose one of the first 6 prayers, pray it and then find some way to act on it. Be creative and invite the Spirit to inspire you. It might be a financial contribution to an organization of your choosing or a phone call of encouragement. The scope of the gesture is not important; beginning this practice is.
Once you have done something, write about it on this blog to share with others. Please do not use your name. This exercise is not meant to be a way to have a conversation and certainly not to be a competition. But we can inspire and support each other through sharing our progress as we travel through Lent.
May God bless this endeavor and may God bless you all for your courage and will to grow more and more into the likeness of Christ.
God's Peace,
Fr. Brian
