Lenten Prayers and Reflections - Week 1

This Lent, we invite you to join us in weekly reflection for hungry children around the world.

Back to all stories | Posted on 28 February 22 in NewsBlog

In these challenging times we believe that coming together virtually in this way will draw us closer as a community and connect us more deeply with the children and communities we serve.

Please spread the word by sharing our Lenten reflections with your friends, family and church community. 

We are honored and humbled to walk the 40 days of Lent with you.

Week 1 Reflection

Lent is… 

Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  

1 John 4:7 

This week, we celebrate God’s enduring love for His children and how we are shaped and inspired by this love. 

One of the beautiful things about Mary’s Meals is our sense of loving community. We are a global family with a shared purpose – to provide hungry children with a daily meal in their place of education.  

No one individual makes our life-changing work possible. It can only be achieved by working together. Each little act of love adds up to something far greater than the sum of its parts.
