We celebrate the liturgical season of Lent.
Lent is an opportunity to Refresh, Renew, Reconcile and Respond.
Lent is a transforming time, a time for renewal and rediscovery, enabling us to stop and breathe and take stock of our lives. Taking a few minutes out from our hectic world each day and to give ourselves a little space and time can be your gift to yourself as you prepare for Easter. In the Gospels we are told that Jesus frequently goes away to a quiet place to pray, to escape the crowds, to spend time with God.
