Dipping into Lent

Every day thousands of words, concepts, ideas and images float past us. Picking up a book, flicking to a story we like, pondering it, and carrying those thoughts with us through the day is a break from switching a screen on and off and scrolling through online pages.

Hopefully these short reflections will help you and God understand one another a little better during the Season of Lent. Every reflection is but a drop but there’d be no ocean if it wasn’t for all the individual drops.

"I compliment Fr Alan Hillard for providing us with a wonderful treasure to accompany this year’s Lenten journey – Dipping into Lent. It is essentially a series of reflections, of encounters that open up the themes of Lent in a most uncharacteristic and charming way".
