Lent is a time of preparation for the great feast of Easter. It is 40 days when we are asked to pray, fast and give alms. Throughout the Bible, 40 days is a time of preparation for Noah, Moses and Jesus himself. What will you do during the 40 days of Lent this year?
We hear about the 40 days in the readings on the first Sunday of Lent every year. This year, because it is year C, we hear Luke's account, Luke 4: 1-13.
An idea for Lent, to help prepare for the Sunday readings, why not read the Wednesday Word reflections, which is a short reflection on the reading for the next Sunday.
