Today is the acceptable time

"Working together,a then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.*
For he says:
“In an acceptable time I heard you,
and on the day of salvation I helped you.” (2 Corinthians 6: 1 - 2)

Father, I call upon you this day, Ash Wednesday that I hear your soothing word.  Yes, I believe that today is the acceptable time.  Hear my prayer!  Fill me with your Holy Spirit.  Fill me with His gifts.  Grant me the grace to have a good Lent.  Amen.
