Let us Dream – Our Lenten Journey with Pope Francis, guided by Austen Ivereigh Hosted by the Diocese of Salford LET US DREAM — Our Lenten Journey with Pope Francis, guided by Austen Ivereigh. Over the Wednesdays of Lent we will explore Pope Francis’ book, Let us Dream, with the assistance of Austen Ivereigh, who worked closely with Pope Francis on the book. Let Us Dream is the first book by a pope in response to a specific crisis, and offers us Pope Francis’s spiritual guidance for humanity in the throes of the Covid crisis, helping us to seize the opportunity for conversion and change — as individuals and as a society. The course will began with an Introductory presentation by Austen on Wednesday 24th February at 7pm. Every Wednesday from 3rd March until 31st March we will meet 7pm-8.30pm, with an opening reflection from Austen, to explore the book in five sections, share our thoughts, ask questions and deepen our understanding of the Lord’s call to us, to our Church and world through the teaching of Pope Francis. Please note, you may benefit from buying Austen’s book prior to the event so that you can contribute fully to the discussion, though this isn’t compulsory. Please email formation@dioceseofsalford.org.uk to book your place.

Listening with Love
'Listening with Love' is a resource inviting people to reflect on the impact of abuse on individuals and the Church. Although we're releasing this material for Lent 2021, it can be used at any time.
The Let’s be Honest group was approached by the Bishops’ Conference to provide some materials for Lent 2021.
From the beginning, it was recognised that the opportunity to invite people to reflect on the impact of abuse on individuals, and the Church, should not be limited to a particular time and that the resource could be for use at any time.
After an initial discussion about looking at scripture and how it might be reflected upon as well as how to link the sessions the members of Let’s be Honest asked survivors to prepare the resource.
The survivors identified the themes and decided that, in conversations, the voice of the survivor could be heard. Therefore, using scripture and recorded conversations each session reflects upon the impact of abuse.
Participants are invited to listen and reflect.
At the end of the seven sessions there is an opportunity to reflect on what has been heard and what it means for the local Church. Read More
