Jemma Brunton is not only a leadership coach with deep insights into prayer, but she’s also someone who has walked a long path of spiritual growth and transformation. At the 2024 Prayer Convention, organised by the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, Jemma shared ten profound lessons she’s learned about prayer over the years. She captivated the audience with her authenticity and wisdom.

Throughout Lent, our 'This Sunday' reflections will look at the way in which the famous stories found in the Sunday Gospel readings have been explored by poets. Poetry can often provide new insights and a fresh understanding of the familiar, and we hope that our focus on poetry assists in your own Lenten reflections and prayers. Through the gift of poetry, we celebrate the abundance found in the Gospel and in our personal preparation for Easter as we journey through Lent.
