At every Mass the priest says, "Let us Pray" and then prays to God the Father through Jesus Christ and in union with the Holy Spirit. This prayer is called the Collect. For the days of Lent and Easter, this prayer is specific to the day to help Catholics reflect on what the Church is trying to teach us and prepare us for. In Praying with the Church Through Lent, Fr. Looney offers a reflection on the prayer each day so the reader can better appreciate the richness of these prayers and prepare them for the resurrection of the Lord.
