Pope Francis' message for Lent

Pope Francis' message for our Lenten Season quotes from the second letter to the Corinthians where Paul says: “We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God”.

It is a very powerful message where Pope Francis calls the whole Church – like he did in his letter to the young people - “Keep your eyes fixed on the outstretched arms of Christ crucified, let yourself be saved over and over again”.

We could say that salvation is not a “once off” gift but develops in a “face to face” relationship with the crucified and Risen Lord “who loved me and gave himself for me”

I invite you to download and read Pope Francis' message as we welcome these 40 days of God's grace that bring us closer to God and to our brothers and sisters all year round.

Wish you a blessed Lenten Season.
