New resource – Praying with the Psalms during Lent –

The Down and Dromore Diocesan Committee of the Church’s Ministry of Healing is excited to announce a new devotional resource for Lent 2019 – Praying with the Psalms during Lent

Each member of the committee spent time using a version of the Lectio Divina process to respond to the Psalms, in the hope that their thoughts and reflections would prompt and encourage others. The booklet offers readers a chance to reflect on a different Psalm each day during the lenten season.

Speaking about the resource, the Committee’s Chairperson Canon Gill Withers, said: ‘Each day’s devotion is quite different because the whole membership of our committee is represented. Some members responded by writing prayers or short meditations, while other members simply noted a verse or verses that stood out to them. Each day, we are encouraging people to let themselves pause for a few moments with the Psalms as they take time to Read, Reflect, Respond and Rest.”

Some hard copies will be distributed to each Parish in the Diocese, but the resource will be made widely available via the following routes:
