Lent 2026 "Illumina, quaesumus, Domine, tenebras nostras".

A New Day Dawns by Naomi Jenkins

Lighten our darkness, 

we beseech thee, O Lord;

And by thy great mercy

defend us from all perils

and dangers of this night;

For the love of thy only son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. 

(Book of common Prayer. 1662)


Lent - the coming of Spring - the lengthening of the days.

From Ash Wednesday I have some daily reflections spanning wonderful Biblical stories.  The first 20 days are from the Old Testament, and the next 20 are from the New.

Remember to rest on the sabbath!
