CWN Editor's Note: At the conclusion of his February 11 general audience, Pope Leo XIV spoke with English-speaking pilgrims about Lent.
“Next Wednesday, the season of Lent begins,” Pope Leo said. “It is a time for deepening our knowledge and love of the Lord, for examining our hearts and our lives, as well as refocusing our gaze on Jesus and his love for us.”
The Pope added, “May these coming days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving be a source of strength as we daily strive to take up our own crosses and follow Christ.”
