Resources: Baptised and Sent in Lent
adminThis Lent, parishes, schools and groups across Ireland are invited to journey together through a set of reflective resources inspired by Baptised and Sent (the preparatory document for the 2025 Assembly in Kilkenny).
Grounded in the conviction that baptism is the foundation of our identity, dignity and mission, these resources help us return to the heart of Christian life, that through Baptism we are reborn in Christ and sent out by the Spirit in service of the Gospel.
Each week offers a simple structure for prayer, Gospel reflection and conversations that are linked to key insights from Baptised and Sent. The themes for each week, such as belonging, healing, renewal, and mission, flow from Baptised and Sent’s call to see baptism as the “entry point to a life of faith, a gateway to mission, and the root and foundation on which to build a Christian life” as well as a unifying paradigm for the renewal of the Church in Ireland.
Through these Lenten reflections, each person – lay, religious and ordained – are encouraged to rediscover who we are as God’s people, to listen to the Holy Spirit and to take concrete steps, individually and collectively towards living our baptismal calling more deeply. Our hope is that this season of Lent will open our collective hearts to new life in Christ and prepare us for the continuing synodal journey toward the National Assembly in 2026.
