“Now is the healing time decreed, for sins of heart, of word or deed”. That’s exactly
what Lent is, a time of healing when we prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery with
minds and hearts renewed. The words of this hymn began life in Latin in the 12th
century , or maybe even earlier .. The music is a German chorale tune..
