‘Empty the bins’ for Lent!

All week, assemblies have been delivered by our Chaplain who talked about the bags of stresses and worries that we carry around with us every day – the things we are constantly thinking about but that nobody sees.

When it all feels too much to bear, our Chaplain reminded students that Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”

When we go to God in prayer or during Mass, we can put our bags down and find comfort and strength in God before we head back into the world!

Lent begins in 2 weeks’ time, so it is the PERFECT time to ’empty the bins’ of the rubbish we carry around by spending time with the Lord!

What are YOU carrying right now?

What do YOU need to let go?

Will YOU let God carry the weight for you…?
