Lenten Liturgy & Lunch Series
Liturgy & Lunch
Lent refers to the 40 days before Easter, and is a season of ‘eradicating evil or cultivating virtue, a time to pull up weeds or plant good seeds’ (Archbishop Fulton Sheen). The Catholic Church reveres the self-sacrifice of Jesus who spent 40 days praying and fasting in the desert (Mt 4.1-11), through traditional practices of: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving or charity.Every Wednesday during Lent – beginning on Ash Wednesday, and continuing until the day before Holy Thursday – join the Community of St. Mark’s at UBC in prayer (daily Mass celebrated at St. Mark’s Chapel) and at lunch in Plato’s Cave Café. Special guests will facilitate dialogue about contemporary hot button issues, and encourage all who are gathered to cultivate the world anew.
