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.”
