2009 Lent Reflections
Wed 25 Feb 2009 Filed in: Pastoral
The Diocese has produced a booklet of Lent Reflections for 2009 which you can download from here.
This year’s programme is a break from the usual practice of focusing on the Sunday Mass readings. As we continue to celebrate the Year of St Paul these reflections are an invitation to look more closely at the writings of St Paul. Each week starts with the Sunday Gospel, then the writer has selected a particular theme from the Gospel and selected a passage from Paul’s letters that reflects that theme.
It is suggested that the programme be used ahead of the given Sunday of Lent, but it would equally be possible to use the booklet to “follow up” on the Sunday celebration.
The Diocesan youth service has put together a website of short daily Lenten reflections for young people.
The site is called Footsteps through Lent and it launched on Ash Wednesday.
