It is late Saturday afternoon, and it is nearly time for me to close down the computer and spend some time with people in the non-electronic world. In line with the Rules of Blog Engagement (see menu on the right), I don’t blog between 6pm Saturday time and midnight Sunday. I’ll be back Monday Kiwi time.
Meanwhile, here are some more links to information about Lent.
First, the Holy Father has published his Lenten message, which this year takes justice as its theme:
Dear brothers and sisters, Lent culminates in the Paschal Triduum, in which this year, too, we shall celebrate divine justice – the fullness of charity, gift, salvation. May this penitential season be for every Christian a time of authentic conversion and intense knowledge of the mystery of Christ, who came to fulfill every justice. Read the whole message.
Being Frank and the Pious Sodality of Church Ladies have both posted asking people about their own lenten plans. A range of comments, there.
The Divine Life blog has some suggestions, in three parts: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving.
Christian Aid UK have resources to use during Lent, including reflections and a calendar.
