✊Faith leaders are standing up against the government's suspension of Refugee Family Reunion. And so are thousands of people across the country. This cruel policy will only put children at risk and push refugees towards smugglers. It needs to go now.

What justice issues can you reflect on this Lent? How can you learn more about modern worldly temptations and how we might resist them? 🏜️ "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights" - Matthew 4: 1-2
