It was a great privilege to be asked to contribute a short reflection to this booklet of Lent devotions prepared by the churches of St Stephen's Rochester Row, Westminster, St Barnabas Pimlico and The Church of the Holy Trinity, Manhattan. 

Members & friends from each church have contributed a short meditation based on the Old Testament reading for each day of Lent.
