LENT 2022 : 02nd March 2022 - 17th April 2022
LENT is a transition time, a time to look honestly at our journey of faith as we walk with Jesus to the cross.
Jesus’s wilderness experience was a pivotal moment in his journey and his extended period of temptation was a profound time, which would determine how he would move forward. Jesus
faced himself, and his willingness to stay true to God’s path.
• How can we allow this Lent period to be a time of looking honestly at our journey of faith and our willingness to say YES to God?
• During this week, take some time to reflect upon the things that fill your heart.
• Does your heart belong to God, or are you easily led by other distractions.
• In what ways is Jesus your bread of life?

The Spirituality Commission is offering a retreat experience beginning on this the first Sunday of Lent and ending in Holy Week.
Archbishop John will introduce a video each week of 10 to 15 minutes by a speaker which will explore themes connected with the Sunday Gospel. The input will be sent weekly via email and can then be viewed at any time. The talk will be accompanied by suggestions for prayer and reflection through the week.
Parishioners can sign up to receive the materials directly via: http://eepurl.com/hnK_Rz

1. Follow it each week in your own home, with friends / family.
2. Join a parish group meeting in Hartley Hall on Thursdays at 7pm.
3. Join a zoom group across the whole diocese at different times and days each week.
Don’t worry - it’s free. You have nothing to lose, but plenty to gain!
