What do I ask from God for these next forty days?
Sunday 1st March 2020Each Sunday throughout Lent we will be taking a few moments to reflect on Pope Francis’ message for the season, which you can read in full here.
In the first week of our reflection, which is written by Fr Paul Daly, Episcopal Vicar for Formation, we look back and ponder on how we can embrace Lent 2020.

We must continually return to this mystery in mind and heart, for it will continue to grow within us in the measure that we are open to its spiritual power and respond with freedom and generosity.
