During Lent 2008, Bishop Tim will be Crossing the Diocese - he will be a pilgrim walking 215 miles and visiting 114 churches in the Leicester Diocese (download the walking plan). The pilgrimage takes place between Thursday morning and Sunday evening on each of the six weeks of Lent. Along the way others will join Bishop Tim as part of their Lent observance, and he will also meet and talk with the people of the diocese at a variety of events. There will be stories to be told, heard and shared. The pilgrimage begins and end in the Cathedral with an Ash Wednesday service and the Palm Sunday service. Although there will be opportunities to meet the bishop on his pilgrimage he also hopes for times of prayer and silence as part of his personal discipline during Lent.
O Lord God, on today’s journey you walk beside us,
on our journey through Lent you walk ahead of us,
on our journey through life you are the end of all our longing.
On all our journeys may you be the way, the truth and the life
which sustains, guides and fulfils us. Amen.
