 A blessing and prayer to meditate on throughout your Lenten journey

Life is short, 
And we do not have much time
to gladden the hearts of those who
make the journey with us.
So...be swift to love,
and make haste to be kind.
And the blessing of God,
who made us,
who loves us,
and who travels with us,
be with you now and forever.
