Lent and Covid 19

Covid-19 has given the opportunity for some of us to re-evaluate our lives: to consider our priorities and consider what God is doing. Why not spend lockdown being locked into something that will enable you to discover what God is doing in your life? Lent is a season during which we reflect on our personal relationship with God and on every Christian’s responsibility to engage with the world as it is. Lent begins each year on Ash Wednesday, 46 days before Easter Sunday. This year Lent will start on February 17th, 2021; and if you are following the 40 days tradition, Lent will then end on Holy Saturday, April 3rd, 2021. Lent can be helpful for families, in the same way, that Advent helps parents prepare their children for Christmas. The season of Lent provides an opportunity for families to strengthen spiritual discipline together. Rather than engaging in the distraction of the baskets and egg hunts, Lent can help your family focus on the real meaning of Easter and what Jesus’ sacrifice means for our salvation.

Lent is the Christian season of spiritual discipline leading up to Easter. Throughout Lent, most Christians adopt a period of fasting, repentance, prudence, and spiritual development. 

• Join us for online Masses from St. Tiernan’s.

• Pick up your aches and a pouch with  a prayer card on Ash Wednesday from St Tiernan’s Church.

• Light a candle and pray at home with your family.

• Pick up your Trocaire Boxes 

 

Thanks.
