March Prayer Theme:
"The Eucharist, Our Passover" Year of the Eucharist
This month of March, our Lenten journey reaches its glorious culmination as we renew our sharing in the Paschal Mystery of Christ, celebrating the great events of our salvation—Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. Along with those joining the Church, we will be renewing our covenant with the Lord Jesus begun in Baptism and experienced anew each day in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. We pray that just as the Jewish people became God's own priestly, royal, and prophetic people through their Passover experience, the same will be true for us. As we unite our joys and sorrows to Christ's one perfect sacrifice of love, may we experience His mercy and be drawn together in unity, growing in love for Him and one another. May this year's Passover experience truly change our lives!
Heavenly Father, through the Death-Resurrection of Christ your Son, your Church was born. As He nourished His disciples with His own Body and Blood—at the table and on the cross, may we recognize our hunger for these mysteries and find in them our meaning, hope, and destiny. As we celebrate once more the mystery of Christ's Passover, grant us the grace to renew our Covenant of faith and love with Him and each other. We ask this through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
