The Seven Penitential Psalms 


These seven psalms have served as a special source of prayer and reflection during Lent, for centuries.  The tone of their honest pleading is compelling and invites us to turn to our Lord with the same candor and desire.

Our struggles, our sins, our “enemies” - and the ways we describe them - may be different, but these psalms can draw us into coming before our God, as sinners, with real needs.  They can help us come to know God’s love and mercy.
