The Meaning of Lent

Lent is a season of “Metanoia” meaning a change of heart and a turning back to God. In our first Lenten celebration of the Word we hear the Gospel account of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. Angel reflects on how Jesus was strong in the face of temptation and how we can be inspired by his example this Lent. We then enter into prayer, inviting Jesus to inspire us as we set out on our Lenten journey. We then sing Secret Place together. We are also beginning our Mission to support Mary’s Meals this Lent as we pray, fast and give for the world’s hungriest children.
