The Catholic Church in the Netherlands viewed from within
The Dutch bishops released an extensive message for Lent yesterday, accompanied by a letter that can be read at Masses during the first weekend of Lent. The message is one ‘to encourage’ all Dutch Catholics for the coming Lent, and active participation in the liturgy, next to prayer and reflection, are presented as the means to that end.
Read the message and the letter in Dutch via this link, or my translation of the letter here.

But, since time is money, as they say, I am most certainly open to donations from readers who enjoy my writings or who agree with me that it communicating the faith and the news that directly affects us as Catholics, is a good thing.
