For
the next 40 days and the week leading into Easter you
will find a different reflection, poem, prayer or scripture reading to
guide us through Lent.
. The historical significance of the forty days may be traced to the time of Moses representing the Law and Elias the Prophets, who only approached God on Sinai and Horeb after purifying themselves by a fast of forty days. (Exodus 24:18, Kings 19:18). . Our Lord, after His Baptism, began to prepare Himself for public life by a fast of forty days in the desert. Here He was tempted by Satan. We
prepare with 40 days of fasting and denial for the greatest feast
Lent
is about altering one's mind-set toward whole new ways of thinking and
acting, with prayer, care for our neighbour and repentance for our sinfulness.
I invite
you to check back daily and reflect on the reading for the day.

A Circle of Prayer around the world praying for and with each other, for peace and for a world in crisis. Please read more about it and perhaps join us, prayer was never more needed than it is in these times!Praying all year round for the souls of our deceased relatives and friends, for the souls of those most in need of prayer and for those souls in purgatory who have nobody to pray for them.
Moytura has several other sites with a 'Christian flavour'. As part of my Journey section of the website join me to learn a little of the Early Christian Church in Ireland by visiting Clonmacnoise, started by St. Ciaran on the banks of the River Shannon in the 6th. Century. Read about Saint Brendan the Navigator who started a Monastic settlement in the tiny village of Clonfert on the Galway/Offaly/Tipperary border, again in the 6th century.
Travel on my journeys to two of Canada's most famous Catholic Shrines - Saint Anne de Beaupré and Cap de la Madeleine, both on the shores of the Saint Lawrence river in Quebec. Finally I welcome you to come with me to see a little of Medugorje, a peaceful haven in a war-torn country - Bosnia Herzogonia.On a much lighter note we have a full section called Prayerful Thoughts & Thoughtful Prayers
Awarded "Site of the Week" by Christian Teens on Saturday March 3rd. 2001.
