A Message from Cardinal Dolan for the Beginning of Lent

| 02/14/2024

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

In a special message for the beginning of Lent, Cardinal Dolan encourages us to admit that we are sinners and to ask for God’s forgiveness.

“This Ash Wednesday and Lent is the season we look to the finish line,” Cardinal Dolan said. “We recall our eternal destiny. We were born to live, then to die and then live forever, thanks to Jesus!”

“We confess we are dust in the eyes of God,” Cardinal Dolan continued. “And by the way, so are our sins…dust…if we admit them and give them to Jesus and let Him blow them away as He forgives them.”

The Pope led prayers for the shooting victims in English.

Bishop Espaillat asks us to examine the questions we are asking, and suggests we ask, "what is humility?" It isn't defeatism - it is a recognition of ourselves as God's creation. Pride looks inward. Humility looks upward. Bishop Espaillat asks that we stop looking in, and start looking up.
