This year’s Lenten resource from the Catholic Bishop’s of England and Wales is inviting parishioners to prepare their hearts and minds to renew their Baptismal promises during the Easter celebrations. Through Baptism, we are united with Christ and given our mission to image him in our homes and communities. While the world tempts us in all manner of ways yet by God’s grace, we can turn back to him with contrite hearts to ask his mercy and forgiveness. We stand to renew our Baptismal promises: to ask for his life, his grace and to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to renew and restore our covenant relationship with Jesus, that we may live in an ever-deepening union with him as his baptised son or daughter.
We have some copies of the booklet available priced £3 each. Please ask Thereza if you would like a copy. The ‘We dare to Ask’ online course – each week has been split out each of the sessions into its own page – can be found here: https://www.cbcew.org.uk/we-dare-to-ask/
