Description
Lent is Easter in disguise, a radical, subversive season of resistance. A blend of contemporary spirituality, scriptural reflection and tales from one of the UK's youngest nuns make this a vibrant take on an ancient season.
Sister Liz Dodd, an activist and journalist, draws on feminist and Liberation theologies, as well as her work with refugees and her adventures cycling around the world, to outline a new spirituality for social justice. This Lent she challenges Christians to do more than give up chocolate: Lent is God's invitation to shake up your life, rattle your parish, and change the world.
Learn from Jesus the spiritualities that he passed onto his disciples, including solidarity, poverty, hospitality, peace-making and protest. Explore ways to practise them against racism, inequality, homelessness and the climate crisis alongside spiritual guides including Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Jr and Pope Francis.
This book is a companion to the six weeks of Lent, with each week and its gospel focus corresponding to one of Jesus' six spiritualities of social justice. It culminates in a fresh look at the traditions of Holy Week. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and a suggested spiritual practice, making it ideal for use with a group as well as for personal prayer.
