The events we recall in Lent, Holy Week and Easter bring a broad cast of characters before us. We meet people who reacted to Jesus in a wide range of ways as we see him welcomed, honoured, rejected, sought, condemned and understood in turn. We take time with these stories so that we may have a clearer picture of who we are before God. We recognise ourselves and ask forgiveness, acknowledge our need and hear again the promise of life that Jesus gives. Each year finds us bringing a different tone to our prayer as we bring our lives before God in our prayer. We are happy to offer you some Sacred Space as move towards Easter together.

Lent Retreat
retreat

These last two weeks of Lent offer us an opportunity to gather our insights of the season in preparation for Easter. The Lent retreat remains available for you to use online to download. You will find it here: http://www.sacred-space.ie

The retreat is now published in Bengali, Catalan, Croatian, Danish, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Spanish, Swedish and Vietnamese. Your friends or people in your community who speak any of those languages might like to know about it too.

Other 6 - find God
other6
Sacred Space is delighted to see that Other6 is again gathering an online community. The site is published by Loyola Press, Chicago's Jesuit publishers, and is intended to encourage people to answer two simple yet profound questions: where have you found God today? and where do you need to find God today?
This site is based on “examination of consciousness”—a prayerful review of the day intended to help people recognise God in their daily lives.  You can find the (free) iPhone app in the iTunes' App Store by entering 'Other6' into the search box.

Pray with the Pope
letter
Sacred Space invites you to pray with the Pope by using the monthly intentions and prayers published by the Apostleship of Prayer. We add to the usual prayers this month by including a prayer that concludes Pope Benedict's letter to the Catholics of Ireland. Sacred Space has helped thousands to pray over the years and we ask that you now keep the church in Ireland in your prayers. Recent reports have brought the wrongs of the past to light and challenge the faith and hope of many in Ireland. You might pray with us for a renewal of faith and for the courage that we need to become the people that God calls us to be.
