This Lenten season, may we remember Pope Francis's invitation to "journey together in hope" (Message of the Holy Father Francis for Lent 2025):
This Lent, God is asking us to examine whether in our lives, in our families, in the places where we work and spend our time, we are capable of walking together with others, listening to them, resisting the temptation to become self-absorbed and to think only of our own needs. Let us ask ourselves in the presence of the Lord whether, as bishops, priests, consecrated persons and laity in the service of the Kingdom of God, we cooperate with others. Whether we show ourselves welcoming, with concrete gestures, to those both near and far.
How might Catholics in the United States and in China journey together in hope through this year?
Peace and blessings to you on this Ash Wednesday 2025.
