The desert experience of Jesus becomes the central image of our Lenten journey. In the Bible, many passages speak of literal deserts and wildernesses, but desert images are also often employed as an opportunity to reflect on our relationship to God. The desert regions of greatest importance in Scripture are the Sinai to the south in Egypt, the Judean wilderness in west central Judah, and the Arabian desert to the east separating Judah from Babylon.

We wish all our parishioners a very happy St Patrick's Day.

Trinity prayer for St Patrick 

The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, His shield to ward, The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard. I bind unto myself today The strong Name of the Trinity, By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three
