18th February 2018 - Letting Lent be God's time

On this weeks programme we continue our reflections on the "joyous" season of Lent and the opportunities it presents to us to reconnect with ourselves, with the world around us and with God. We have our regular reflection on the Sunday gospel as well as our liturgical odds & ends.

You can listen to this weeks full programme HERE.

A Lenten Reflection - "Letting Lent be God's time"

Continuing our series of reflections on Lent, this week SS102fm Shane leads us in a reflection on how Lent presents us with the opportunity to rediscover or even to find the passion in our relationship with God with the encouragement that we throw open our hearts to God. But with the reminder that we should also let Lent be a time for God to work on us - not as another opportunity to set New Years resolutions but letting Lent be God's time.

You can listen to the reflection excerpted from this weeks programme HERE.




Gospel - Mark 1:12-15

And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. 

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
