This year for Lent I decided to “Do Lent Generously”, joining many others from around the world with 40Acts.org.uk.
The first challenge, on Wednesday, February 10, is to draw circles – family, friends, community and wider. I haven’t had an opportunity to draw yet, but have spent some time thinking about these circles, how they overlap, holding them in prayer. I have used my prayer beads to name and pray for those circles too.
And here is another reflection specifically for Ash Wednesday that I found particularly helpful “on not giving up too easily” from the Jesuits in Britain.
