Lent First Sunday Prayer

On this first Sunday in Lent, a prayer for Lent:

Servant Christ, help us to follow you into the desert, with you to fast, denying false luxury, refusing the tempting ways of self-indulgence, the way of success at all costs, the way of coercive persuasion. Servant Christ, help us all to follow you;

Lord in your mercy; Hear our prayer.
