Lent Online Resources
A beautiful Lenten resource for individual and group meditation is “Ecce Homo: Poems for Lent and Holy Week”, from the Anglican Archdiocese of Algoma, Canada. The daily Lenten poems include poems of lamentation and pain – reminders of Jesus’s suffering – as well as of contemplation, praise and thanksgiving. The poems are rich and varied - from poets as diverse as George Herbert, Dylan Thomas, St Thomas More, Christina Rossetti, Wendell Berry, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Mary Oliver, John Greenleaf Whittier, Isaac Watts and many more. Each poem is accompanied by a short reflection, making it an excellent Lenten resource for both groups and individuals.

Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudate Deum, makes it clear that each of us has a personal responsibility to our planet and our own role to play in arresting Earth’s seemingly headlong plunge into disaster. We are all called to be stewards of the Earth. It is through a combination of our own individual efforts, added to those of all other individuals, that real change can occur.
