Like the ‘Rains Retreat’ in Buddhism or Ramadan in Islam, Lent in the Christian community is a time of deeper spiritual practice and personal ascesis - learning the benefits of self-control in some ordinary areas of our life in order to sharpen our spiritual awareness. We start the 40 days of Lent with today with the ‘giving of the ashes’, a simple ritual reminding us of our earthiness, and a talk on how to make the most of Lent from Fr Laurence.

His book ‘Sensing God’ which is a popular handbook for Lent and a way to refresh your meditation discipline will be available.
