The Fourth Sabbath of Lent
 
 
 
 
 
Pray for the Nations: For goodwill among peoples, wisdom for leaders, and the well-being of all people. Conclude your prayer by saying:
 
Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
