2020: a particular lent!

form Pope FRancesco:

A time favorable to our conversion “: in the Message for Lent, entitled” We beg you in the name of Christ: let yourself be reconciled with God “(2 Cor 5:20), Francis, faced with the” presence, sometimes even dramatic, of evil in our life, as in that of the Church and the world “, invites us not to lose sight of the” Good News of the death and resurrection of Jesus “. “Those who believe in this announcement – he says – reject the lie according to which our life originated from ourselves, while in reality it is born from the love of God the Father, from his will to give life in abundance. On the other hand, if you listen to the persuasive voice of the ‘father of lies’, you risk sinking into the abyss of nonsense, experiencing hell already here on earth, as unfortunately many dramatic events of personal and collective human experience testify “. It is a time of grace to make prayer more intense, that sincere and profound dialogue with Jesus that scratches “the hardness of our heart”, filling it with that compassion that “allows us to look and touch the flesh of Christ with faith in so many suffering people “And to share” their goods with the most needy through alms “.
