Ash Wednesday

The Pope said that the ashes reminds us of who we are, recalling the “essential truth of our lives: that the Lord alone is God and we are the work of His hands.”

Lent literally means, ‘spring,’ the season to sow seeds of good thoughts and actions - the season to return to the ways of God, from which we have strayed.

Ash Wednesday begins on March 2, marking the 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving within the Catholic Church. Christian leaders have urged the faithful to pray for people suffering due to the war in Ukraine while calling for an unconditional ceasefire.

Let the 40-days of Lent be springtime for the heart of everyone

The season of Lent reminds us that there is A GREATER LIFE TO BE LIVED, a life made so precious by the victory on Calvary

The Vatican noted that the health situation caused by the pandemic has forced changes even in the rituals and celebrations of the Church

The 40 days of Lent are to be an imitation of Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. In fact, we are called not only to “imitate” Jesus’ time in the desert, we are called to live this time with Him, in Him and through Him.
