LENTEN MESSAGE FROM POPE FRANCIS
Let us not allow this season of grace to pass in vain.Let us ask God to help us set out on a path of true conversion. Let us leave behind our selfishness and self absorption and turn to Jesus.Let us stand beside our brothers and sisters in need, sharing our spiritual and material goods with them. In this way, by concretely welcoming Christ’s victory over sin and death into our lives, we will also radiate its transforming power to all of creation.
