The times they are a changing! A new season dawns! A time to take a fresh look at the journey to Easter. Some effort is needed to throw off the stereotype of Lent which becomes an excuse to ignore it. The negativity of gloom and doom can descend at a time of waking up. As Bishop Richard put it – the days are lengthening, new growth appears and there is Spring happening. In his message he speaks of the three pillars – prayer – keeping in touch, you are what you eat, diet and time for generosity, reaching out to others “walking with them” and unselfishness.
