What does God want of you this Lent? It’s easy to begin Lent with more superficial commitments, such as giving up a favourite food or doing an extra good deed. Some choose to use Lent as a time to get in better physical shape, and others decide to dedicate more time to spiritual reading or other holy exercises. All of this is good and useful. But you can be certain that the deepest desire of our Lord for you this Lent is that you pray. On Wednesday the children and teachers will come together with Fr Peter to pray during the Ash Wednesday and Beginning School Mass. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions we are still unable to include parents, friends and parishioners. Photos will be taken and shared following the event.

My divine Lord,

I give myself to You this Lent. Draw me in so that I may come to know You more. Reveal to me Your divine presence, dwelling deep within me, calling me to Yourself. May this Lent, dear Lord, be glorious as I strengthen my love and devotion through the discovery of the gift of true prayer.

Jesus, I trust in You.
