Lord of hearts, do not let my fasting be an outward show, but a hidden work that purifies my intention


Cleanse my heart from hypocrisy, from the desire for praise, and from anything that distances me from Your simplicity


Let my charity be in secret, my prayer in humility, and my fasting in joy


When I hunger, remind me of the hungry


When I grow tired, remind me of your patience with me


May this Lent bring true transformation within me



.Amen
