Message from the Pope for Lent 2026
The Holy Father invites us to look at Lent as a season of listening and fasting in community. “Lent is a time in which the Church, guided by a sense of maternal care, invites us to place the mystery of God back in the center of our lives, in order to find renewal in our faith and keep our hearts from being consumed by the anxieties and distractions of daily life.”
