Poems for Lent

Use these resources to carve out sacred time for yourself during Lent as we rediscover how the beauty of language can nourish us in times of uncertainty, drawing us closer to God and one another.


This retreat will offer three reflections on the poetry in The Book of Psalms alongside beloved mystic and contemporary poems from the likes of St Teresa of Avila, Rumi and Hafiz, Mary Oliver and more.

Session I: Songs of Lament

Session II: Songs of Thanksgiving
