Message from the Pope for Lent 2025
The Holy Father shares what it means to journey together in hope this Lent. “All of us are pilgrims in this life; each of us is invited to stop and ask how our lives reflect this fact. Am I really on a journey, or am I standing still, not moving, either immobilized by fear and hopelessness or reluctant to move out of my comfort zone?”
