asPrayfulness, forgiveness and ready to listen to God. What a start for Lent!

Something very moving about the first Eucharist of the Lent season. A real change in mode,the quietness, simplicity of the church and that time ahead, the 40 days in preparation.

And then the school arrived! 200 or so children from the primary school, music and voices filled the church. How wonderful to be part of that celebration.

The children had written down things they wanted to say sorry for and these were brought to Father Andrew, who set light to them and turned them to ash. All the children were then signed with a cross using the ashes of their words…. something both myself and they will remember.

And so Lent starts, what will you do to mark it as special?
