Listen to episode one of our new Lent podcast, ‘Rejoicing in Mortality’
St Augustine’s College of Theology is excited to bring you the first episode of our Lent 2025 podcast series, The Joys of Lent.
‘There is joy to be had, even rejoicing, as we contemplate our mortality.’
This week, Bishop Martin, Bishop of Kingston, invites you to think about life, death, and the unexpected joy of knowing our time on earth is limited.
He shares personal stories, poetry, and reflections from Christian liturgy with warmth and honesty, showing how faith helps us find sorrow, gratitude, and hope in the face of death.
Take a moment to pause and reflect
Lent is a time to slow down and consider life’s deeper meaning.
This episode invites you to step away from the rush of daily life and listen to a message of hope.
Bishop Martin also reflects on the pain of loss, the reality of grief, and the role of Christian faith.
Through Scripture, prayer, or personal experiences, he reminds us that we are not alone in our questions and emotions.
