Weekly reflections from
Pray as you go >>>

‘The Pace of Grace’, written for Pray As You Go by Phil Harrison SJ, is all about slowing down and taking time with God.Here’s a look at the introduction to this retreat…

We rush because we think that we will get to our destination faster. Often we only find ourselves running without direction.

Jesus never seems to be in a hurry. He has a lot to do, but he makes time for every person he meets. He invites us to slow down so that we can live unhurried lives and discover the destination he has in mind for us. Take a moment to soften your body, to ease your breathing, to still those racing thoughts…  

The word ‘Lent’ derives from the lengthening of days during spring in the northern hemisphere. It reminds us of the gentle return of the light after winter. It is a time to slow down. It is a time to take a long hard look at our lives.

We can use this season to see things more clearly day-by-day, and perhaps recognise that each moment is a precious gift from God…

Daily Lent Online Retreat

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22

We will journey through Lent 2025 in the Jubilee Year.  Our Lenten journey this year therefore picks up on the Jubilee theme “Pilgrims of Hope”. The letter issued by Pope Francis on the Feast of the Ascension 2024 to help us begin this pilgrimage is Spes non Confundit, hope does not disappoint.  Hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Rom 5:1-2.5)
