CATHOLIC CHARACTER NEWS
WEEK 3 15th – 19th February (Green)
17th Ash Wednesday (Violet)
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent in preparation for Easter. It is also the start of the Caritas Lenten Programme. The theme for Lent 2021 is “A New Way Forward” – taken from Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’. This theme reminds us that God provides everything we need to overcome obstacles and push through the walls of fear and uncertainty throughout our life’s journey.
A New Way Forward
“In the heart of this world, the Lord of life, who loves us so much, is always present. He does not abandon us, he does not leave us alone, for he has united himself definitively to our earth, and his love constantly impels us to find new ways forward.”
Pope Francis, Laudato Si’, #245, 2013
