"Lent precedes and prepares for Easter. It is a time to hear the Word of God, to convert, to prepare for and remember Baptism, to be reconciled with God and one's neighbour, and of more frequent recourse to the 'arms of Christian penance': prayer, fasting and good works."
Although we are still in lockdown, we can practice our traditional Lenten devotions at home, joining together as a community in prayer: physically separated, but made one body in Christ.
