Dear Friends,

We hope that you find ideas, reflections and practical resources for your Lenten journey.

“Lent is a new beginning, a path leading to the certain goal of Easter, Christ’s victory over death. This season urgently calls us to conversion. Christians are asked to return to God ‘with all their hearts’ (Joel 2:12), to refuse to settle for mediocrity and grow in friendship with the Lord.” - Pope Francis

Invite Us Deeper

Almighty and ever living God,

you invite us deeper into your world, your people, your Lent.

May this time be one of outward focus;

seeking you in those we often ignore.

Help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.

Give us hearts hungry to serve you

and those who need what we have to give.

(Hosea) Come back to me Lyrics

Come back to me with all your heart,

don't let fear keep us apart.

Trees do bend, tho' straight and tall;

so must we to others' call.

Long have I waited for your coming

home to me and living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you

to your heart where I will speak.

Integrity and justice

with tenderness you shall know.

Long have I waited for your coming

home to me and living deeply our new life.

You shall sleep secure with peace;

faithfulness will be your joy.

Long have I waited for your coming

home to me and living deeply our new life.

- Gregory Norbett

Through the Desert God Leads us to Freedom

Dear brothers and sisters!

When our God reveals himself, his message is always one of freedom: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Ex 20:2).

These are the first words of the Decalogue given to Moses on Mount Sinai. Read more here...
