Lent is a special time of grace for every Christian – we are encouraged to ensure a daily time of personal prayer, with Lenten practices like Abstinence from meat and fish on Fridays. Your generosity to the causes of the poor will also be blest abundantly and may we find creative ways of working for justice in the world.
