This sacred celebration ushers in a time of prayer, reflection, fasting, and spiritual renewal as we prepare our hearts for the Resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday. During this season, we are called to grow closer to God through repentance, self-discipline, acts of charity, and deeper reflection on Sacred Scripture.
As a sign of humility and conversion, the faithful are invited to receive the ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ฌ, during which the priest will say:
