What on earth is a pile of sand doing on the marble sanctuary of the Mary MacKillop Catholic Community Church in Ballajura? It is a “Lenten Garden”, a symbol of the season of Lent, a visual reminder that just as Jesus spent 40 days in the desert, his followers are invted, during Lent each year, to spend 40 days engaged in prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Church goers at MacKillop are invited to light a votive candle and place it on the sand as a sign of their willingness to pray for others or a sign of their participation in the discipline of Lent!
