Ireland: Archbishop Eamon Martin launches Facebook page for Lent


On Ash Wednesday, Archbishop Eamon Martin launched a special web feature and a new Facebook page with information and resources for Lent 2015.

Archbishop Martin said: "I love the phrase which Pope Francis uses in his Message for Lent this year and where he describes Lent as a time for 'formation of the heart'. During this Lenten season I invite everyone to look into their heart, see the things which might be closing our heart to God's love and make a special effort to open ourselves up to the grace that God offers during this Lenten season.

"I ask that we: Open our hearts to the love of God. Open our hearts in charity and love for others. Let our hearts be formed and shaped this Lent so that they can be more like the heart of Jesus."

Archbishop Martin concluded: "For many years we have provided online resources to assist with our Lenten preparations which seek to guide us as we prepare spiritually for the joy and hope which comes with the Easter season. During this season of Lent, I invite everyone to visit and avail of the information provided on our website and on Facebook and to join in the conversation on Twitter using the hashtags #lent and #lent2015."
