Mardi Gras
A prayer: click here
A synopsis
Blessed are you Lord God of all creation, from your goodness we have this day to offer, to celebrate, this day to feast.
As we feast today may we be filled with gratitude as we recognize that it is from you all good things come.
May this feasting of today give us strength for tomorrow as we enter into a season of fasting and prayer.
Thus, this 40 days will not be wasted and we shall draw ever closer, more dependent, ever mindful and attentive to you and thus finally we shall be fully yours.
May this feasting undo the deceit and help us appreciate that "every good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights."
Amen.
