Spiritual Renewal Services is a ministry of the Diocese of Norwich. The Charismatic Renewal Ministry in the Norwich Diocese is not a program, or a doctrine, but rather a spirituality, and an experience, a way of life, very deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture. It is a way of life by which a person develops a relationship with God and experiences the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. There are currently more than 15 million people who have experienced this in the United States alone! At the very heart of the Charismatic Renewal is the personal awareness of the presence and power of God dwelling within a person. Thus, one is encouraged to live one’s life led by the Holy Spirit. Call Spiritual Renewal Services (860) 887-0702 today!

Lent is ended when this liturgy begins. This Mass begins the Triduum and highlights the reception of Oils blessed by Bishop Cote at the Chrism Mass, Last Supper and the Washing of Feet. The Feast of Breads follows (bring some yummy breads to share, if you wish!) and all are welcome. Spend time reflecting in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the Oratory until midnight, if you can.
This service is not called a Mass – because it is actually a continuation of Thursday night’s celebration. A retelling of The Passion of the Lord (different from that on Palm Sunday — this time John 18:1—19:42), Solemn Prayers of Intercession, and Adoration of the Cross feature prominently within the celebration. The Eucharist, reserved from Holy Thursday, is received.
Soup and Bread Supper follows at 5pm and all are welcome. Today is a day of fasting and abstinence, so the soup is meatless.
This beloved devotional is movingly presented in word, music and movement by our talented youth. A crowd favorite!

Let us receive the announcement of Lent with joy!
For if our forefather Adam had kept the fast,
We would not have been deprived of paradise.
O Lord, who took flesh from the Virgin
in the fullness of time,
Call me back and restore me to Eden!– Byzantine Vespers
We begin our celebration of Lent with the imposition of ashes on
You thumbed grit
into my furrowed brow,
marking me
with the sign of mortality,
the dust of last year’s palms.The cross you traced
seared, smudged skin,
and I recalled other ashes
etched
into my heart
by those who love too little
or not at all.– Elizabeth-Anne Vanek in Extraordinary Time
(Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence)
