Catholic Prayer: The Love of Lent


Good morning Jesus, I praise and bless your mighty name, the name which is above all other names. It is truly a privilege that you have revealed yourself to me, a nobody. I marvel at your love, a love that knows no boundaries. A love that surpasses all understanding. A love that all of humanity with all its worldly wisdom would never be able to comprehend. So great is your love for unworthy creatures like us. I am truly  undeserving of such immense love. Yet you still choose to love me.

Trusting in your love, I come to you as I am because of the simple knowledge that you love me even through I would not be fully able to comprehend the depth of your love. You love me even as a sinner. Thank you Jesus for your unfailing love. There is no meaning in love unless love draws its strength for the source of all love: the Holy Trinity.

As I start lent this year, grant me the grace to dwell into the depths of your love. Reveal your love more and more to me so that I can be mesmerized by your love. May these forty days be days filled with love. Love for the Father. Love for the Son. And love for the Holy Spirit. Amen.
