Episode 4 – ‘Our Tainted Nature’s Solitary Boast: Mary the Mother of God’
Join us on Wednesday 11 March 8pm in the Parish Centre Board Room
GRATITUDE
Lent… must be a time of conversion that flows out of gratitude for all that God has given us; for all that he has accomplished and will continue to accomplish in the world, in history and in our personal lives. Our gratitude must be like Mary’s, who, in spite of all the sorrows she had to endure, did not cast down her eyes in defeat, but instead sang of the greatness of the Lord.
Reflection: Write a list of 10 things you are grateful for. Take time to thank God for each one.
‘She must be a woman known for her good works, whether she has brought up her children, been hospitable to strangers and washed the feet of God’s holy people, helped people in hardship or been active in all kinds of good work.’ 1 Timothy 5:10.
Trócaire’s Lenten campaign 2015 highlights the injustice faced by many in the developing world. Sunday 8 March is International Women’s Day and we remember the countless women who are supported by Trócaire in the developing world who work tirelessly to improve their communities, often at great personal risk. Find out how to help at www.trocaire.org/lent.
