App Description

Reflections for Lent offers a simple way to make space for Bible study and reflection from Ash Wednesday (13th February 2013) to Holy Saturday.

This standalone app provides a chance to try the readings from best-selling Reflections for Daily Prayer app but without requiring a subscription.

Each day (excluding Sundays) it provides daily Bible readings, a reflection by a leading author, and a prayer for the day.

Christians have used the season of penitence we call Lent to prepare for Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection at Easter. In Lent it is traditional to fast, pray and practice self-denial. But keeping Lent also involves taking up things that help us focus on God.

In particular, Christians are encouraged to set aside time for reading and meditating on God's word. Reflections for Lent can help you find a time and space to do this - on the move, at work or at home.

For each of the forty days of Lent, the app gives you:
- A reflection on a Bible reading
- A Collect (prayer)
- Full lectionary details for Morning Prayer from Common Worship
- A new introduction to Lent by Jane Williams- Tips on Morning Prayer from John Pritchard and on reading the Bible from Stephen Cottrell

The daily reflections are written by leading authors Stephen Cottrell, Steven Croft, Barbara Mosse and Mark Oakley.

Other features of this app:
Browse reflections by date, author and Bible reading
Bookmark your favourite daily entries for easy reference
See reflections for the week ahead
Follow Bible reference links to the online Oremus Bible Browser (NRSV) - no need for a separate Bible app
