On the one hand we come to an acceptance of our mortality and our need for God, and on the other, confidence to know that in Christ, we are offered new life in the here and now. This leads to a real transformation in our outlook and attitudes – it gives us a sense of hope no matter the context in which we find ourselves. The word “Lent”, after all, is derived from the early English word, “Lencten”, the time when the days begin to lengthen, and the season sees new growth. Lenten transformation is about allowing ourselves to be shaped by God’s grace, just as the warming sun germinates and stirs nature into new life. If this is true, why has the church repeatedly affirmed the Lenten disciplines of self denial? At its most profound level, acts of self-denial serve as an emptying of ourselves, enough to allow God in turn, to fill us. They are a means to an end. They prepare us to be transformed, just a little more, into the full image of ourselves that God intends, an image that conforms more truly to His own. The early Church understood this when it developed the traditional disciplines of Lent – prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Firstly, prayer enables us to establish, maintain and strengthen our relationship with God. We will want to ask for the things we deeply need for ourselves and for others - healing, understanding, patience, humility, strength, insight, a better knowledge of God, an ability to detect his love and to reflect it in how we live. When we do this, we can begin to see the world as Christ sees it. This is the first, most foundational Lenten practice. If we do nothing else during Lent, the practice of daily prayer (preferably silent and contemplative – a few moments in the day, walking, sitting quietly somewhere – thinking about God and His presence around us). Lent is the perfect time to reignite our prayer life. 3 Secondly, fasting (what we typically mean when we talk of ‘giving something up’) is not about doing without something we like, but doing without something we need and the point of fasting is to recognize our dependence on God’s provision of life. Traditionally, fasting from everything except basic food, is done once or twice a week, from sunset to sunset on Mondays to Tuesdays and Thursdays to Fridays. Few of us do this now but I have several friends who adopt a vegetarian diet through Lent or use at least one day as a day of fasting. To feel your own need of something that is basic to life, does allow us to appreciate and focus on those in our world who have nothing, not of their own choice but out of circumstance. At its most basic level, Lent offers a time to reassess how we consume things without much thought - food, drink, clothes, the material things in everyday life. It sharpens the conscience and reminds us of the double standards that erode a proper sense of who and what we are, as we stand before God as part of one human family. Lastly, when we offer our own money to help others in need (almsgiving) we are aligning ourselves to God’s will. Almsgiving can be planned or spontaneous. Either way, it is one of the most countercultural things we can do; it runs away from the default position of human self interest and travels directly towards imitating the generosity of God, from whom we have everything in the first place. This could be a time perhaps to reassess what you give to the Cathedral – never an easy or comfortable question to ask! During this Lent, will God indeed prompt you to review your giving in such a way as to enable the Cathedral to breathe easier and begin to fund its ministry in a new way? Ever since my own ordination, I have chosen to give sacrificially to the churches in which I have served and do so now. I have found it a totally liberating thing to do – unconditional generosity finds its blessing in so many ways. In the end, whatever one does during Lent, it is between the individual and God. However, it is an opportunity to have an ambition and practice for ourselves, engaging in disciplines that remind us of God’s boundless grace, rather than gestures that try to make us the saviours of ourselves. The prayer for the blessing of the ashes on Ash Wednesday sums this up: Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is 4 only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Gerwyn The Archbishop’s Farewell. At the end of January we said a farewell to Archbishop Barry. The service on the 29th January was a wonderful celebration. He has been a strong supporter of the Cathedral throughout his time as our diocesan bishop and as the Primate and it has been the Cathedral’s great privilege to help support him in his Diocesan and Provincial role. Barry’s has wanted to see our ministry thrive at the Mother Church of the Diocese and that has been both a joy and a challenge over the last few years. We are so hopeful that in retirement he will continue to be part of our Cathedral family and we wish him well as he prepares for a new chapter in his own life and ministry. Hilary shared Archbishop Barry’s love and care for the Cathedral and was such a supporter over the years - we continue to miss her a great deal. It is certainly right for us to acknowledge with gratitude the part she played too in our life at Llandaff. I should like as well to offer my own personal thanks to Archbishop Barry for supporting me as Dean and on behalf of us all, to express profound gratitude to God for his vision, scholarship and pastoral concern as our bishop. Above all perhaps, we thank Archbishop Barry for his unwavering friendship as a guide and fellow traveller in the Gospel.

  • Trail of Discovery; Llandaff Cathedral
    Trail of Discovery; Llandaff Cathedral. Llandaff has long been a centre of Celtic Christianity. The Patrons of the Cathedral are St Dyfrig, the founder bishop, with fellow 6th century saints, St Teilo and St Euddogwy, St Peter and St Paul. 2020 marks the 900th anniversary of the building of the original Norman Cathedral at Llandaff. In 1941, during the Second World War, a German parachute mine landed in the graveyard on the south side and the resultant damage to the Cathedral led to its latest major restoration. 1. Entrance On arrival the visitor’s eyes are drawn to the full length of the Nave; the main body of the Church with benches (as open seating should be referred to). The concrete pulpitum dominates the interior and divides the Nave from the Choir, with Jacob Epstein’s startling aluminium figure, ‘Christ in Majesty’, (‘Majestas’) mounted on the cylindrical organ case. 2. South Aisle Font Water is poured into the font at a baptism. People are baptised with water as a sign that they have become a Christian and a member of the worldwide Church. The font’s base shows scenes from the lives of St Dyfrig and St Teilo. 3. The Stained-glass Window This was installed in 1951and has 17th century stained glass panels originally housed in Hale Hall, Lancashire. In this window you can see 8 birds and 5 other animals. 4. Bell and Life Belt These can be found hanging in the South Aisle and are from HMS Llandaff, a frigate (a type of warship) that was launched on the Clyde in 1955.

  • Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017
    Cardiff Castle Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017 MONDAY 08 MAY 2017 We will meet at Cardiff railway station at 13.00 (Royal Academy representatives will wait for the train arriving from London Paddington at 12.52). Our local coach will be waiting for us and after loading our luggage we will travel a short distance to Le Bistrot Pierre where lunch will be taken. This afternoon will begin with a visit to Llandaff Cathedral for an art and architecture guided tour focusing on the Cathedral’s intriguing mix of Norman, Early Gothic and modern architecture, and the wonderful Pre-Raphaelite art, Victorian and modern windows, with artist’s such as Rosetti, Burne Jones, Piper and Madox Brown represented. Located in the ancient “City of Llandaff”, now a suburb or Cardiff, the present cathedral dates from 1107 when Bishop Urban, the first Bishop appointed by the Normans, instigated the building of a much larger church, there already being an edifice on the site. The Cathedral was extended and widened and a new West front built in around 1220; the front is judged by many to be one of the two or three most notable mediaeval works of art and architecture in Wales. For over 200 years following the reign of King Henry VIII the building fell into a state of near-ruin, however, in the early 19th century, growing prosperity in the Diocese made possible a fresh restoration undertaken by J F Seddon and John Pritchard. Following our visit we will rejoin our coach for the short housing the debating chamber and three committee rooms for journey to the 4 star New House Country Hotel, where the National Assembly for Wales and also known as the we will check in for 4 nights’ accommodation.
