The Season of Lent
Lent is the season immediately before Easter. It is a time of reflection as we endeavour to understand more fully God’s great love for us and prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery; the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts forty days until Easter. As all Sundays are ‘Days of Resurrection’ the Sundays during the season are not part of the ’40 days’.
Lenten Prayer
Almighty and Everlasting God,
You have given the human race
Jesus Christ our Saviour as a model of humility.
He fulfilled Your Will by becoming Man
And giving His life on the Cross.
Help us to bear witness to You
By following His example of suffering
And make us worthy to share in His Resurrection.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son.
Amen.
