Lent is a time to remember those who live in a desert not of their choosing, those who have been deserted and forgotten.

Prayer
O Christ, in your death and resurrection, you have conquered all the forces of evil. During these days of Lent, may we be strengthened by your Spirit, so that we might serve God by helping those how suffer from the evil of hunger. Amen.
