A Prayer For Lent by Pope Francis:


Fast from hurting words and say kind words

Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude

Fast from anger and be filled with patience

Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope

Fast from worries and have trust in God

Fast from complaints – contemplate simplicity

Fast from pressures and be prayerful

Fast from bitterness, fill your hearts with joy

Fast from selfishness and be compassionate

Fast from grudges and be reconciled

Fast from endless words, be silent and listen

Amen
