GODZDOGZ LENTEN RETREAT 2009

Please join us for our Lenten Retreat, beginning on Ash Wednesday (25 February) and continuing each day until Easter Sunday (12 April). The Godzdogz team will offer a short reflection on the Mass readings for each day and slightly longer reflections for the Sundays and Feasts of Lent.

The poet Robert Herrick (1591-1674) reminds us how to observe the season well: "'tis a fast to dole thy sheaf of wheat and meat unto the hungry soul. It is to fast from strife and old debate, and hate; to circumcise thy life. To show a heart grief-rent; to starve thy sin, not bin; and that's to keep thy Lent".
