Join us on a creative Lenten journey! From March 5 to April 17, reflect on a daily one-word theme and capture a photo that inspires you. Share your images on social media using #ABDLent and #ANPC.
Check back each day to see a featured photo from our Community Worker, Jay, and find inspiration for your own reflections!
Day 35 #Joy
Look at the seal.Just lying there.In the sun.On the sand.Not rushing.Not proving.Not performing.Just… being.And that?That is joy.Not the loud kind.Not the flashy, Instagram-filter kind.But the kind that sneaks up on youwhen you finallyslowdown.Joy isn’t something you...
Day 34 #Space
You open it —and there’s another.And another.And another.On it goes.Layer after layer after layer.Like life.Like you.You think you know yourself.You think you’ve seen it all.But there’s more.Always more.You are not finished.Not even close.Because you’re not just one...
Day 33 #Wild
The wild swan doesn’t explain itself.It just moves—quiet,strong,free.In old Celtic stories,swans show up as something more.Not just birds,but signs.Of something deeper.Something sacred.They glide between worlds.Seen and unseen.Spirit and body.Now and not-yet.The Celts...
Day 32 #Memory
It doesn’t knock. It doesn’t ask. It just slips through the cracks. A smell, a song, a street corner, and suddenly — you’re there again. The world tells you: move on, fix it, let it go. But memory isn’t broken. And neither are you. Some things aren’t meant to...
Day 31 #Light
It’s always there. But sometimes, it breaks through in ways that stop you in your tracks. A reflection in a puddle. A beam cutting through a dusty room. Colours spilling from a stained-glass window, turning a stone wall into something alive.Light moves. It bends. It...
Day 30 #Free
We think it’s out there. Somewhere else. A place we haven’t reached, a life we haven’t lived, a version of ourselves we haven’t met yet. But what if freedom isn’t movement? What if it’s presence? You can leave, walk away, change your name, cross oceans— and still...
Day 29 #Change
Change is never neat. It’s unfinished. Messy. In progress.We often think change means arriving. A finish line. A completed plan. But what if it’s about beginning? About stepping forward, even when the path isn’t clear?We don’t have to have it all figured out. Or be...
Day 28 #Dream
It starts as a whisper. A glimpse. A stirring deep in your soul. You try to ignore it. It feels too big, too uncertain. But it won’t let go. Because dreams? They aren’t just ideas. They’re invitations. Invitations to trust. To step forward. To believe that what...
Day 27 #Peace
A river flows.It doesn’t strain or struggle. It doesn’t force its way forward. It moves—steady, sure, alive.And over time? It shapes the land. It smooths the rough edges. It carves through even the hardest stone.That’s peace.Not the kind that comes from control, from...
