Gracious and loving Father, let us take the opportunity at this time of the year to cry out in our hearts as the crowd did many years ago: Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to our risen King, Hosanna to our Savior! We rejoice and lift our voices in praise to You, O Lamb of God. Blessed is He who comes in the name of The Lord! Alleluia! .
"And the crowds that went before Him and that followed Him were shouting, 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!'!"
Matthew 21:9 (ESV)

Lord, thank You for the greatest opportunity to carry the greatest message to those who need to hear it most in every corner of the world. Like St. Patrick and many missionaries who have traveled to the "ends of the earth," give us a genuine love and passion that is greater than fear, distance or any barriers. Thank You for Your Divine Presence with us, behind us, before us and most of all within us. Breathe the hope of the Gospel afresh in us through Your Holy Spirit during this Lenten season, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Father, help me to forgive those who offend me. Help me to "turn the other cheek" and offer forgiveness and compassion. Help me to remember that true peace does not come from man but only from You, the Prince of Peace. In Your name I pray, Amen.

Lord, by the grace of Your Holy Spirit, show me the things that are displeasing to You and give me true heavenly wisdom as I seek You. Above all Lord, help me to love and serve You as You deserve. In Your name I pray, Amen.
