Description
Lent is one of three 40-day 'seasons' in the Church's year, besides Advent and the period from Easter to Pentecost. The name Lent derives from an ancient word meaning 'spring', referring to the time of year when days are beginning to lengthen and the world is turning from winter cold and dark to warmth and promise. During this special period, the Church calls us to prayer, self-examination and teaching - a time of turning from winter to spring, from death to life. This book has been written to accompany you through Lent, exploring the whole business of living and believing where questions are as important as answers. It invites you to deep heart-searching, aiming to draw you to authentic faith: a way of living and believing that is real and vulnerable, strong in knowing its limits, rooted in joy and wonder, blessed with God's healing and merciful presence. Such faith acknowledges both the dust of our mortality and the glory that keeps breaking in with unexpected life, hope and new beginnings.
