Lent commenced on Wednesday with the ashes, a sign of our determination to make this time of the year different. We are encouraged to spend time in prayer, attend daily Mass & say the Rosary. During Lent we are reminded of those who are in need, we take our Trócaire Box so that we may make our contribution to alleviate hunger and depravation in the world. Lent urges us towards ‘metanoia’ a change of heart. Confession is recommended during Lent, and the stations of the cross. Make this Lent different.
