THE SEASON OF LENT

lent1.jpg
The season of Lent is a special time set aside by the Church to deepen our relationship with God and with one another. The entire period of Lent is a time of personal and spiritual preparation for the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus

During Lent, we reflect on Jesus’ struggle to choose life in the wilderness and hold onto what mattered most to him, we are invited to reflect on what we choose to hold onto and what we dare to let go of in our own life’s journey.

Let us pray, Sustaining God, you are the source of true life. We pray today that you grace us with the courage to choose the things that will bring us to freedom and peace. May we always be open to your call to life and may we meet it with generosity and graciousness. We make this prayer in union with your Spirit in Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of lent. The students and staff gathered together on Shrove Tuesday 16th February to burn palms which were blessed and used during Palm Sunday last year. The ashes that were produced were blessed with holy water at the Ash Wednesday Mass. Well done school leaders who presented the short but lovely Ceremony.
