Arek’s Evening Prayer rises before God to cleanse our hearts and set us free to sing God’s praise this Annunciation Day. Arek considers the Passion and asks that God may pour grace into our hearts as we think about Lent, and the things we may have given up to mark this time. Not just coffee or chocolate biscuits but our responses to difficult situations, for example. Arek suggests we give up judging others and complaining – instead exchanging these by discovering love for Jesus from within ourselves and taking up hope and optimism.
