My dear friends in Christ,
Lent is the most important time of the year to
nurture our inner life. It is the time during which we not only prepare
ourselves to celebrate the mystery of the death and resurrection of
Jesus, but also the death and resurrection within us. Life is a
continuing process of the death of the old and the familiar, and being
reborn again into a new hope, a new trust, and a new love. The death and
resurrection of Jesus therefore is not just an historical event that
took place a long time ago, but an inner event that takes place in our
own heart when we are willing to be attentive to it.
Lent offers a beautiful opportunity to discover the mystery of Christ
within us. It is a gentle but demanding time. It is a time of solitude
but also community; it is a time of listening to the voice within, but
also a time of paying attention to other people's needs. It is a time
continuously to make the passage to new life as well as to life with
those around us.
When we live Lent attentively and gently, then Easter can truly be a
celebration during which the full proclamation of the risen Christ
willreverberate into the deepest place of our being.
As some will know, last year saw us in the red (financially) for the
first time in many years and whilst the Council are actively working on
solutions to ensure that 2010 is healthier, I would ask each one of you
to search your own hearts as to how you can help us and to pray daily
for this Chaplaincy which is so important to each one of us.
I pray that the grace of the good Lord will help us discover how to make
this a truly blessed Lenten season.
May God Bless you all and may the love of our Lord Jesus
Christ fill your hearts.
Your Chaplain and friend,
Father Keith Gordon
