&lt;p&gt;'Ash Wednesday, Lent begins and we think hard about our failings. &lt;em&gt;Why&lt;/em&gt; do I keep going wrong? We think in fact about temptation and a pattern of failure. &lt;em&gt;Why&lt;/em&gt; is it that I keep chasing after the wrong things?'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for a reflection on Ash Wednesday by the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each week during Lent, the lectionary explores the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth from the perspective of the Gospel of John. One of the ways that John’s gospel identifies what Jesus is like is through his ‘I Am’ statements. From ‘I am the bread of life’ to ‘I am the Good Shepherd’, these seven statements help us learn who Jesus is, and what it means to follow Him as disciples. Our reflections will explore these statements throughout the forty days of this season&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
