Lenten Resource 2023 - A Short History of Happiness: Lent to Easter

Lenten Resource 2023

This resource offers individuals and groups a short introduction to happiness, through scriptural texts about creation, and the human journey. Between Ash Wednesday and Easter, we can reflect together on our baptismal vocation, with the hope and confidence that God is with us all in the process. Remembering the promise of Jesus at the Last Supper to send the Holy Spirit, some call this period Ashes to Fire.

A selection of nine sets of Scripture readings from the Lent/Easter liturgy underpins this resource. Each of the nine sets matches an issue emerging from the twin cries in modern movements.
