...and I wish you all a blessed and prayerful one, whatever you choose to do with it.

No chocolate and more prayer for me!

Amen! Sugar fast (again - hoping to stick with it!) and following the Lectio 365 lent series for my readings.

I follow Lectio 365 too.

I got a little Lent book of psalms and no cake for me. Will prayer more and try to get to Mass more often during the week.

It's so lovely, isn't it? I think this lent series is going to be good.

Mass this morning was absolutely packed and it made me so happy to see! I've just had a jacket potato with salad. I can't pretend I haven't missed my usual meat serving! But it is only a tiny sacrifice so I am happy to do it! Have a good evening all 🙏

I have been cast out of my spiritual home so I am very sad about that.
But I will spend 30 minutes each day doing a craft activity and listening to a prayer podcast to stay close to Jesus.

Sorry to hear that @HereintheloveofChristIstand I hope you can find a new home soon.

I hope that you all have a meaningful lent, I did attend a service on Wednesday which I do like.

I think that I will be quite reflective during this time and also will listening to sermons on from the church and may be others on this theme of Lent and Easter. I like saving the transcripts of these sermons and then reading over them again myself and I take them in better this way and it is better for my learning to.

I've signed up to the C of E Lent emails. It's nice to have a short time of reflection first thing, and something to focus on through the day.

I’m reading ‘The passion and the cross’ for Lent. 40 short readings to think about as we journey through.
