Recall your goals for Lent. Say them aloud in your group if this fits. Pray Paul’s words about running the race.
LEADER: I am running to grasp the prize. I do not think of myself as having reached the finish line.
ALL: I give no thought to what lies behind but push on to what lies ahead.
LEADER: My entire attention is on the finish line as I run to the prize to which God calls me —
ALL: Life on high in Christ Jesus. Amen.
LEADER: Christ our Light, you restore us to truth and grace.
ALL: The Holy One has done great things for us; we are glad indeed!
Extinguish all candles.
