Quietness (Reverence) in

After Mass speak to one another, but quietly, without disturbing those who are at prayer – ideally in the porch.

It encourages us, despite the world’s distractions, to turn back to God with contrite hearts and seek his mercy, so that we may renew our covenant with Christ and live more deeply as his baptised sons and daughters. The full resource is available Here…. Each weekly session also has its own page: Week One…. Week Two…. Week Three…. Week Four…. Week Five….

During this lent, perhaps we can use this reflective time to grow deeper in our love and care for creation. Could the things that we chose to give up or the extra actions that we commit to do, be those that address climate change, protect creation and lead us into a closer relationship with our earth and Creator. There is a Lenten Care for Creation Ideas sheet at the back of church with ideas for positive action that we, or our family and friends, may find useful
