“We will journey through Lent 2025 in the Jubilee Year.
Our Lenten journey this year therefore picks up on the Jubilee theme “Pilgrims of Hope”. The letter issued by Pope Francis on the Feast of the Ascension 2024 to help us begin this pilgrimage is Spes non Confundit, hope does not disappoint. Hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Rom 5:1-2.5) For this reason, through Lent 2025, our Lent Retreat theme is the “fruits of the Spirit”. We experience the fruits of the Spirit in
consolation: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness and self-control.
For Ignatius consolation was an increase in faith, hope and love. (SE 316)”.
The Retreat will begin on Ash Wednesday 5th March. Go to Fruits of the Spirit – Online Prayer .
Hard copies of the retreat material are available in the form of a book. These are free of charge but if you would care to make a donation towards the publishing and printing I will make a donation to the Jesuits in Glasgow.
