C&SI - Entering into Lent: A reflection with Fr Frank Duhig - 19 Feb 2023 (S03E13)

It is hard to believe how quickly the liturgical calendrical wheel turns as we are just out of Christmas, settling into Ordinary time and we find ourselves down the door of Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the season of Lent!  To help us to prepare ourselves to celebrate this "joyful" season we are joined by Fr Frank Duhig who shares a reflection with us as we enter Lent. Fr Frank examines the origins of Lent, the counter-cultural message of self denial and how a well lived Lent can force us to examine our comfort zones and how we can integrate the three traditional exercises associated with Lent (prayer, fasting and alms giving) into our modern lives.

We have our regular run through the saints of the week (abbreviated of course for Lent!) and Fr Frank and John reflect on the Sunday gospel (Matthew 5:38-48).
