A Lenten Collect to Not Cling to the Things of Earth

Lord Jesus, the bridge between heaven and earth, keep us from clinging to the status and goals of this world, lest we seek only the things of earth and fail to attain that which will last into eternity, through you who brought us the words of heaven and now reigns forever with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
