A Blessed Lent, Everybody! | ¡Bendita Cuaresma a todos!

| 03/5/2025

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

On Ash Wednesday, Cardinal Dolan reminds us, “You are dust and unto dust you shall return.” Today we are marked with burnt palm ashes to honor those words from the Bible. Our goal is salvation in and through the cross of Jesus Christ. 

Lent is our spiritual spring training. Holy mother Church advises us on the triple-play of Lent that involves Prayer, Penance, and Charity. Our eyes are fixed on Jesus crucified as we enter these 40 days. A blessed Lent to all.

El cardenal Dolan nos recuerda estas palabras el Miércoles de Ceniza: “Polvo eres y en polvo te convertirás”. Hoy nos marcamos con ceniza de palma quemada para honrar estas palabras de la Biblia. Nuestro objetivo es la salvación a través de la cruz de Jesucristo.

La Cuaresma es nuestro entrenamiento espiritual de primavera. La Santa Madre Iglesia nos aconseja durante la Cuaresma la oración, la penitencia y cla aridad. Nuestros ojos están fijos en Jesús crucificado mientras comenzamos estos 40 días. Que la Cuaresma sea bendita para todos.
