My Prayer-Poem for the 10th day of Lent, Friday 26 February 2021

Today is an Ember Day when we give thanks for all God's gifts, are reminded to use them responsibly, and we also pray for new vocations to the ordained ministry. Ember days are the first Wednesday, Friday and Saturday after the Feast of St Lucy (13 December), Ash Wednesday, Pentecost and Holy Cross Day.
​
First Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
of “Lucy, Ashes, Cross and Dove”
we keep a holy Ember Day
of thanks to God above.


We ask for Grace to use His gifts
with care and love for all things dear
and pray for those God’s calling now
to full time service here.


Lord, on this day, tomorrow too,
I thank you for life’s bounty store
and pray for new vocations in
your Church for evermore.
