The beginning of Lent is Ash Wednesday and is marked in with a Holy Mass and the distribution of the ashes. To endure the Lent sincere acts of compassion for the less fortunate must be part of our penance, our contemplation. And of our renewal of life, for these acts of mercy are a sign of our solidarity and longing to justice that is so important for the coming of God's Kingdom here on earth. We wish you a good Lent.
