Suggestions for Lent 2026
To help deepen our prayer and spiritual lives throughout Lent let us take on the Bishop’s Six Holy Habits:
- Keep Sunday special, a family day, by attending Mass.
- Spend at least 5 minutes a day in prayer using the Scriptures.
- Do penance on Fridays, abstain from meat and serve the poor and needy.
- Make a fortnightly Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament. - Go to confession once a month.
- Join a small group for formation, prayer and fellowship.
