On Tuesday 16^th February, the eve of Ash Wednesday, the Seminary community celebrated the Proclamation of Lent. This celebration, held at the Seminary Chapel was led by the Rector Can Richard N. Farrugia. Following the Proclamation of Lent at the beginning of the celebration, the artal and the ambo were dressed in their Lenten array. The Rector shared a reflection on the reading from the Gospel of the First Sunday of Lent (Mk 1, 12-15). Lenten hymns were sung during this celebration. Finally, the Rector announced some changes in the programme and also the activities related with this liturgical period, reminding us that Lent is a special time for exercise in prayer, fasting, and charity. Once again, the Seminary will be offering various opportunities to the seminarians to reap the spiritual benefits of Lent, both for themselves and for the community as a whole.
