LENT 2022

Theme for Lent 2022: Drawing from Wisdom Wells


Introductory letter to Lent 2022

Dear Mary of Magdala Inclusive Catholic Community,

Here we are again, the beginning of Lent for another year.  Traditionally Lent is a time of self-reflection, openness to the Spirit of God moving in our lives, and commitment to change for the better in ourselves and our world.  The practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving are intended to help us move along the journey of transformation to Oneness in Christ.

Article by Teresa Hanlon on a topic related to our Lenten theme:
On the morning of February 19, 2022, almost a “screen full” of us gathered with MMICC’s Indigenous Relations Team to listen to Métis Elder, Water Walker, Marjorie Beaucage. We told our own stories of water growing up, playing on the shores and beaches of oceans (Atlantic and Pacific), lakes and rivers. We remembered wells and creeks, the beginnings and the breadth of great drinks.
