‘What does the Lord require of you? Only this; to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.’ Micah 6:8

The road that people of faith walk for forty days in Lent every year – the path of suffering and darkness in preparation for the triumph of Easter – is the road that people in the poorest communities in the world walk every day, as they too wait expectantly for the coming of the kingdom.

Six of our finest writers reflect on the Scripture readings from the common lectionary for each day of Lent 2006, inviting us to discover the God of compassion through prayer, contemplation and action for change.
