The Lord is gracious and full of compassion – Ally reads Psalm 111 this Morning Prayer and considers the Annunciation of our Lord to Mary, in the heart of Lent today. Ally prays that we are inspired by Mary’s humility and faithfulness – guiding us to the path to peace in our world. When we are discouraged by our own shortcomings and failure Ally asks for renewed confidence and faith in our Lord’s love.
