Litany for Lent


Litany for Lent
Lord Jesus, you have come to save us
from our sins.

Lord, have mercy.

You fasted to encourage us
to do penance.
Lord, have mercy. 
You suffered temptation
to give us strength.
Lord, have mercy. 
You were transfigured
to give us hope.
Lord, have mercy. 
You suffered insults
to bring us salvation.
Lord, have mercy. 
You accepted death
to bring us life with you.
Lord, have mercy. 

Hat tip to Catholic Doors.

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
