It might feel like life is on hold at the moment, and it certainly feels like the days are dragging, but the year is already racing by - in just 10 days we start Lent. This year we will be reading the whole of the Gospel of Mark together at home.

Today we remember Mary and Joseph taking Jesus to the Temple and Mother Anna is thinking about churches as a place where we encounter God. What does St Aldhelm's mean to you?

Most of us feel like we are running on empty at the moment - so maybe today's Gospel reading makes for tricky reading.

Today's readings speak to us about the way in which God calls us all - and Mthr Anna admits she hasn't always been quick to answer God's call.
