Cardinal Hume's Reflections for Lent

Cardinal Hume

The words of Cardinal Basil Hume give guidance and purpose to the Cardinal Hume Centre in Westminster. His pragmatism and prayerfulness inspire their work and his Benedictine values, are what makes the Centre such a special place. This year the centre will publishing some of Cardinal Hume's Lenten Reflections on their website and have given permission to ICN to publish/link up with them also.

Ian Fairhurst from the centre writes: "We take real strength from his words 'Each person matters. No human life is ever redundant'. It certainly resonates when we think of the people in need at our doors, but also, with each of us and our own lives. They are words of hope. Hope is what is offered here at the Centre, but it is also what is offered in the resurrection at Easter. Please join us in prayer this Lent, as we deepen our relationship with God and prepare for the gift of hope."
