“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”
Is this not the best news ever!
While traditionally Lent was a time where we gave up, did penance, prayed the Rosary more, and these are all good things to do, I like Lent better now then when I was younger.
Christians around the world, united on the same day, the first Friday of March, come together to pray for issues affecting especially the lives of women and children. Each year, since the 1920’s, a different country prepares the service and shares resources. This year, women from England, Wales and Northern Ireland have written and Canadian women have made adaptations. The theme is “For I know the Plans I have for You …Plans to Prosper you and not to Harm you, Plans to give you Hope and a Future.” (Jeremiah 29:11). This (55-minute) virtual service is free at wicc.org.
An “Elements of Deepening” Lectio Divina process took place on February 28, 2022 via Zoom between the Truro and Woodstock Associate groups. This evening was organized by Marjorie Allison-Ross and Anna Rowley. Theresa and I were invited to attend. Anna Rowley hosted and participated in this discussion. Prayer, music, and personal reflection and small group sharing took place.
