Lent begins on Wednesday 6 March. This is a time of conversion and penitence in preparation for Easter.
Pope Francis has addressed the following message to all Christians on the occasion of the 2019 Lenten season:
«When we live as children of God, redeemed, led by the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom 8:14) and capable of acknowledging and obeying God’s law, beginning with the law written on our hearts and in nature, we also benefit creation by cooperating in its redemption».
