Lent and Easter at All Saints 2024

 


Ash Wednesday and Lent2023 02 Ash Wednesday 10am & 7

Ash Wednesday is a holy day of prayer and fasting and marks the beginning of the 40 days of Lent. The name “Ash Wednesday” comes from the practice of placing onto the forehead, ashes - typically obtained by burning the palms blessed on the previous year’s Palm Sunday - in the shape of a cross, symbolizing mortality and the need for repentance.

Lent is a time of preparation for Easter, marked by repentance, fasting and reflection, and represents Christ’s time of fasting and temptation in the wilderness.  Lent asks us to set aside a time each year for similar fasting, marking an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection. The Lenten season culminates in Holy Week, which includes Palm Sunday and the joyous celebration of Easter.

At All Saints we start our Lenten journey with the following services:

Ash Wednesday, 14th February

 

10.00am - Ash Wednesday said Mass - with ashing

All Saints Church - Lent 2024
Lectio Divina – Scripture and Prayer:  The Lent Gospel Readings


Lectio Divina diagramLectio Divina is an intentional and contemplative way of reading scripture.  Established within Benedictine monastic practice in the 6th century, it provides us with a way to step more deeply into God’s word.  The term means ‘divine reading’ and is based in the belief that Christ is present in the Bible and that this way of reading allows God to speak directly to us.

The focus of our attention will be on the Gospel reading for the following Sunday, following the theme set by the lectionary, but allowing us directly to hear God’s word across this season,

Each reading session will last for just over 30 minutes and will take place in the Richard Chapel at 3.00pm on a Wednesday:  21 February; 28 February; 6 March; 13 March
