Ash Wednesday & Lent 2021
Our celebration of Lent is going to look very different this year. Ash Wednesday is 17th February 2021. As things stand, we cannot celebrate public Mass or distribute ashes in the normal way. So, we must look for other ways in which we can mark the beginning of this important season of the Church's year. While the absence of ashes may be unwelcome, it is simply an external sign of our desire to bring about interior change, metanoia, conversion. There are many ways in which we can mark Ash Wednesday as special:
• A Family Prayer Service is available for use at home — I am happy to email it to those who wish a copy. It will also be posted on the Parish Facebook Page along with this bulletin.
• Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence — mark this day by abstaining from meat and sacrificing some food for the day.
• Get a copy of My Day by Day and use it during Lent, individually or as a family group, to reflect on the scriptures for each day of the season.
• For children: get a copy of the Lenten Calendar from Fr. John and help the children focus on the positive, good deeds that they are asked to perform each day.
• For children: get a copy of the Walk with Me: Activity Booklet for Lent 2021 for the children. These are available from Fr. John.
• For children: take part in our "Stations of the Cross Wall" — you can obtain one of the drawings of the Stations of the Cross from Fr. John, colour it in and return it. It will then be added to our wall. The drawings can be collected or emailed to you. To obtain one of the drawings, email stmaryimmaculate@rcag.org.uk.
• Tune in to our parish Facebook Page on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm for Prayer around the Cross.
• Collect a SCIAF Wee Box from Fr. John for your loose change during Lent — help SCIAF help others.
These are but a few examples of things we can do to mark our Lent. Our way of celebrating the season may not be as we would like it to be, it does not mean we cannot celebrate it. The resources mentioned above can be collected from the Parish House today, 14th February 2021, 12 - 4 pm.
