Opening Prayer for Lent 5, Year C

Creator God,

you prepare a new way in the wilderness

and water the desert.

 

Help us to recognize your hand

working miracles beyond our imagining.

 

Open our hearts to be transformed

by the new thing you are doing,

so that our lives may proclaim

the extravagance of your love for all,

and its presence in Jesus Christ. Amen.
