Dust and Glory: A Lent journey of faith, failure and forgiveness is the Church of England’s theme for Lent 2023.
It contains 40 daily reflections to help us find God in the mess of everyday life, one for each of the 40 days in Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday (22 February) and ending on Easter Day (9 April).
Each day (Monday to Saturday) the app offers:
- A passage from the Bible
- A short reflection on themes of faith, failure and forgiveness
- A practical challenge
- 40 daily challenges for each day of Lent by Emma Ineson
- A weekly theme to help think about how to live well with the ‘mess’ of everyday life
- Short passages from the Bible
- Simple prayers for use throughout the week.
- Full audio recordings of the above.
For each week there is:
- A theme based on one one of the chapters of ‘Failure’, the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2023 Lent Book by Emma Ineson
- A brief introduction to the readings for the week
- A simple prayer.
The prayers, challenges and reflections are taken from Dust and Glory booklets from Church House Publishing.
This latest version of the award-winning Church of England campaign app, produced by the Church of England Digital and Publishing teams and developed by Class Professional Ltd (incorporating Aimer Media).
“Dust and Glory encourages us to take a fresh look at the frustrations and failings that every day brings and, rather than pretending we can always avoid them, seek to learn from them and grow closer to God through them.”
Archbishops Justin Welby & Stephen Cottrell
