LENT begins this week, (we will need some palm crosses for the Ashes) and now is the time to think about what we might want to do to keep Lent, together and individually.

THE WORLD THIS WEEK
The primary role of the Catholic Church in England and Wales must be the defence of social justice and the common good, the well-being of the whole of society without exception, regardless of denominational allegiance or the lack thereof. This means making it the major focus of evangelism in the modern era so that loving God and loving one’s neighbour become indistinguishable. That means changing the way it works, including working far more closely with ecumenical partners, locally and nationally. Solutions. It means growing existing initiatives and helping new ones into life. It means a more sophisticated communications strategy that is proactive rather than defensive. It means developing a model of synodality that harnesses all the latent energy of the Catholic community, together with like-minded allies, in the cause of the common good. Do all this, and politicians and the media will have to listen, as voters certainly will.
