Fr. Michael writes: At Easter we will celebrate the Resurrection, the most important feast in the Christian Calendar. Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday when we begin the Season of Lent as a time to ready ourselves for that great feast. We are invited to let God find us where we are. The first reading for Ash Wednesday by the prophet Joel will be God’s invitation to each of us:- “Come back to me with all your hearts”. During Lent we can make the time to look at where we are in our lives and discover God’s presence anew. It will be a time of challenge to make time and to listen to God. Traditionally Lent is a time when we give up something or take up something extra. I give below suggestions so that these next six weeks will helps us all on our journey to grow closer to God.7th Sunday of the Year
