On the 10th of February the College marked the beginning of Lent with Ash Wednesday Masses.
In this Year of Mercy, Pope Francis wants us to focus on Jesus' word. During Lent we are called to search for God's mercy in our lives. We can find God's mercy by opening our hearts to the works of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
This Lent we are particularly challenged to open ourselves - to open our eyes and hearts and arms to others. Our Lenten journey will be one that can help us reflect the face of Christ to others, to be people for others and look for ways we can be open to this as we journey towards Easter.
