The Reflection - A Lenten Journey
You are invited to partake in an exciting and unique journey during Lent.
Each week, the Bishops of Australia will share their thoughts and reflections
on the Sunday Gospels. The Reflection is a free internet-based resource
that will follow a lectio divina exploration of the Scriptures.
This innovative program is a wonderful opportunity to share your Easter
journey with family, friends, parish or family groups. As the Church family
welcomes its new members with open arms at Easter, let’s take up
the challenge and invite others to come to our table. Go to www.thereflection.vividas.com
