The theme for Lent this year is Hear the voice, answer the call – whakarongo ki te reo, whakahokia te karanga.
“Hear the voice, answer the call” challenges us in many ways. Whose voice are we hearing, and when we hear it, are we really tuning in to what it is saying to us? And when we do, how do we respond to “the call”?
Caritas Aoteroa has published their annual Lenten Reflection Programme where they use weekly reflections and discussion questions to dive deeper into this year’s theme.
