C&SI - Lent 2025 - Trocaire's Lenten Campaign - 2 Mar 2025 (S05E14)

Next Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent so on this weeks podcast we are joined by Jane Mellet from Trocaire who shares with us about the upcoming 2025 Lenten Campaign - the 52nd annual Lenten campaign by Trocaire since it was set up as the development agency of the Irish church. We have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends for the coming week noting of course that Wednesday is a day of fast & abstinence (but not a Holy Day of Obligation!). We also go through Pope Francis message for Lent 2025 and some suggestions for resources to help you "make a good Lent" this year. Just to note that next week Fr Frank Duhig will join us for a reflection on Lent and also during Lent we will do a podcast of the Stations of the Cross. In part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel which this week is a challenging series of the sayings of Jesus which form part of the discourse of the Sermon on the Plain from the  gospel of Luke. Trocaire Lenten Campaign 2005  This years campaign focuses on Guatamala and links in with the Jubilee year and its theme of hope as well as the 10th anniversary of the publication of Laudatio Si.Link to the campaign including all of the online resources.Lent 2025 linksMessage of the Holy Father Francis for Lent 2025Vatican News - Pope Francis: Lent calls us to journey together in hopeSacredSpace.ie Lenten Retreat 2025Loyola Press - Resources for LentAn Ignatian Prayer AdventurePray As You GoText us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
