Preparing for Lent.
This is the preparation for most solemn Feast in Christianity, Easter. As a child, I can recall the Catholic Calendar hanging in kitchen. Every Friday had a symbol of a fish. That meant a meatless day, a reminder.

Dear Lord,
Please
infuse in our hearts
the spotless light of Your Divine Wisdom
and open the eyes of our mind
that we may understand the teachings of Your Gospel.
Instill in us also the fear of Your blessed commandments,
so that having curbed all carnal desires,
we may lead a spiritual life,
both thinking and doing everything to please You.
For You, O Christ, our God,
are the enlightenment of our souls and bodies;
and to You we render glory,
together with Your eternal Father,
and with Your all holy,
life-creating Spirit,
now and ever, and forever
AMEN
