A Covenant With God: A Journey through Lent 2021

The Society, in conjunction with the See of Fulham and supported by Forward in Faith, is delighted to release A Covenant With God: A Journey through Lent 2021. Through this devotional booklet, Fr Philip Barnes reflects on the Old Testament readings from the Lenten Sunday Masses, exploring the story of God’s relationship with His people and preparing the way for the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus, which are marked by the Church's principal liturgies of the year over Holy Week and Easter.

The booklet can be used either on its own or in conversation with others in your parish community. There is a reflection for each Sunday in Lent with some questions to ponder in each case. A video introduction to the themes of the booklet is provided by the Bishop of Fulham:

If you are looking for further study material, we recommend The Society in the Diocese of Leeds's course on Communion and Catholicity. It is available here.

Lent is also a time during which we meditate upon the Stations of the Cross, often on the Fridays in Lent.  In 2020 we published this booklet  and this year we also make this version available.

The Society fervently hopes that you may have a prayerful Lent in this time of national emergency and as we prepare to celebration Our Lord's victory over death.
