Lent is a journey of return to God, and an opportunity to deepen our love of our brothers and sisters. God is appealing to our hearts and our entire being, inviting us to Him. It is a time to reconsider the path we are taking, to find the route that leads us home, and to rediscover our profound relationship with God, on whom everything depends. Pope Francis” homily at Ash Wednesday Mass, 2/17/2021
