Reflections for Lent

Here is a short reflection video that I produced for Lent last year. 

Advent Synchroblog

I have been asked by Brother Maynard to be a part of an Advent Synchroblog . I am delighted by this opportunity as Advent really is one of my favourite times of year. The idea comes out of Brother Maynard’s book That You Might Believe: Praying Advent with the Gospel of John [...]
