\n-reading Reconciliation<\/u> and A Season for the Spirit<\/u> by Fr. Martin Smith
\n-(hopefully) confessing to a priest at some point during Lent<\/p>\n
\nWe celebrate with songs of praise;
\nFor Christ, by Whom all things were made,
\nHimself has fasted and has prayed.<\/p>\n
\nThe loving God Who gave the law;
\nAnd to Elijah, fasting, came
\nThe steeds and chariots of flame.<\/p>\n
\nDelivered from the lions\u00e2???? might;
\nAnd John, the Bridegroom\u00e2????s friend, became
\nThe herald of Messiah\u00e2????s Name.<\/p>\n
\nFull oft in fast and prayer with Thee;
\nOur spirits strengthen with Thy grace,
\nAnd give us joy to see Thy face.<\/p>\n
\nTo thee be every prayer addressed,
\nWho art in threefold Name adored,
\nFrom age to age, the only Lord.
