Dear Parishioners,
Sometime last year, I was approached to lead a Lenten Retreat. Unfortunately,
due to various factors, I could not deliver it. It, however, made me start
thinking about how I would approach the task, and, after some time in prayer, I
had the idea of exploring the three Lenten Observances of prayer, fasting, and
almsgiving through the lives and teachings of the three Carmelite Doctors of
the Church – St Teresa of Jesús (better known as St Teresa of Ávila), St John of
the Cross, and St Thérèse of the Infant Jesus – respectively.
