Pope Francis Delivers His Annual Lenten Message Ahead of Ash Wednesday | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Ash Wednesday is next week. Today, Pope Francis delivered his annual Lenten message. It involves the simple act of listening. In a news conference, Cardinal Michael Czerny said the Holy Father asks the faithful to spend the time before Easter listening to Jesus. We can do this in the readings at Daily Mass and also through other people such as in a homily or in the needs of those around us. Even if we cannot attend Mass every day we are encouraged to find the day's readings and spend time with them. Professor of Theology at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (ANGELICUM), Fr. Dominik Jurczak, joins to tell us more about the Holy Father's message and any advice on how best to listen to Jesus during Lent. The Holy Father highlighted the Transfiguration in his message. Fr. Dominik shares why he focused on this particular passage. Fr. Dominik discusses his suggestions to live in the best way during Lent.
