INTERCESSIONS R/ Lord, hear our prayer. • For all people who work for freedom and justice around the world, that they will never tire of their efforts and will turn to God for strength and grace. R/ • For those who are hungry and homeless, that Christians will take care to help them as brothers and sisters. R/ • For each one of us, that we will multiply the gestures of help and sharing that make our light “break forth like the dawn.” R/ • For my own personal intentions: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

My small step toward Easter through fasting and alms On this Friday, which reminds me of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, I will do without dessert. If my parents agree to give me the money they did not spend on me, I will set it aside. I will do the same every Friday of Lent. In the end, I will give the money to my parents, and they will donate it to an organization that helps the poor.
