The Season of Lent

Lent is the solemn religious observance in the liturgical calendar of Christians that begins on Ash Wednesday and covers a period of approximately six weeks before Easter Sunday. The traditional purpose of Lent is our preparation through prayer and self-denial for the joyful Festival of Easter. Its purpose is heightened in Holy Week, marking the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the tradition and events of the New Testament beginning with Jesus’ crucifixion on Good Friday, which ultimately culminates in the joyful celebration on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Wednesday 10^th February 2016 ASH WEDNESDAY

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing that you have made and forgive the sins of all those who are penitent: create and make in us new and contrite hearts that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may receive from you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
