Lent begins on Ash Wednesday
Lent begins this year on Wednesday 5 March.
This Lent we are focusing on the interlinking strands of Mercy, Justice and Hope. When we are moved by compassion to reach out to others, to act for Justice and Mercy, we can be a sign of hope to the world. Our theme this year links to the Jubilee Year of Hope we are celebrating in the universal Church.
Each week of Lent, Fellows from our Mercy Emerging Leadership Fellowship (MELF) will share reflections on this theme.
Our reflections will be shared here each Wednesday of Lent and will also be made available on our social media.
Mercy in Action means Hope for All
