Lent
Lent can be “…a time of joy because it is a time for coming home, a period when we can come back to life. It should be a time when we shake off all that is worn and dead in us in order to become able to live and to live with all the vastness, all the depth and all the intensity to which we are called.” (Metropolitan Anthony Bloom)
Lent began with Ash Wednesday on 26th February. At the 10.00 a.m. Wednesday morning Lenten Eucharists in the Cathedral we will be reflecting on T. S. Eliot’s poem ‘Ash Wednesday’ and particularly the lines:
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood (4th March)
Teach us to care and not to care (11th March)
Teach us to sit still (18th March)
Even among these rocks (25th March)
Our peace in His will (1st April)
