Lent

Lent is a 40 day period of reflection, repentance and preparation for Easter. It's a time to remember Jesus's sacrifice and focus on spiritual growth through prayer,fasting and almsgiving . 

This Lent we are fulfilling our Jubilee promise 

We are pilgrims of hope. We walk in solidarity with our sisters and brothers worldwide, sharing challenges and celebrating joys.  We promise to be agents of change, working together for justice, love and peace, locally and globally. We want to build a fairer world, where every person, and the earth, can flourish. As pilgrims of hope, we are on a mission to build a world where:

● We recognise the dignity of every person, loved and created by God.

● We follow the example of Jesus’ love and his mission to bring good news ‘to the poor’. (Luke 4)

● We work for the common good of all, understanding that our actions impact our local and global family because we are all interconnected.

● We are good stewards of the earth, knowing that the earth’s gifts are for everyone, not just for a privileged few.

● We prepare a path to peace in our world, challenging the root causes of poverty and injustice.

● We speak out for debt relief, to set free those who are burdened by unjust debt.

● We work together with CAFOD and our local Caritas to be practical signs of hope and put love into action.

We will do this by…....    Living in God's image and spreading the good news to others.
