Lenten prayer...
Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Did you compose the prayer, Father? I have a feeling I'll be saying it a lot this lent.
Can't take any credit for the prayer, Betty. It's the Collect for Ash Wednesday, originally found in the Book of Common Prayer, now in the Book of Divine Worship.
