First Sunday in Lent
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be
tempted by Satan; Come quickly to help us who are assaulted
by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of
each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through
Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.(Book of Common Prayer)

Roger,
I thought Lent was a pagan holiday?

Not as pagan as Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Independence Day, ANZAC Day - and many churches still celebrate them! A least it has a historical Christian reasoning behind it.
