Walking in the Wilderness with Jesus – A Short Lenten Reflection Sunday March 14
Archbishop Michael Jackson offers today’s short reflection for Lent (Sunday March 14).
On Mothering Sunday the Archbishop recalls the recent report on Mother and Baby Homes which, he says, raises concern and societal shame which must be accepted and addressed regarding mothers and children across Ireland.
“We can only stand silently, penitently, repentantly with these children, now adults, and their mothers, most of them now dead, on this day called Mothering Sunday,” he says.
The Archbishop’s reflection today (which you can watch below) is based on St Luke 2.33–35; St John 19.25b–27.
Join us every day during Lent for a thought for the day from our Diocesan Readers. Archbishop Michael Jackson gives the reflections on Sundays.
