“Lent is a time to confirm our faith in the Lord Jesus and our determination to announce his mystery of salvation with new zeal. Heed God's Word, to learn the truth of man, where we come from, where we are going and what we must do to be happy and obtain salvation. May the liturgical and ascetic season of Lent help us to open our hearts to the loving mercy of the Lord Jesus who forgives, reconciles, enhances and makes us more worthy.”
