Message of Pope Leo XIV for Lent 2026
Listening and Fasting: Lent as a Time of Conversion
In his message, the Holy Father explains that “Lent is a time in which the Church, guided by a sense of maternal care, invites us to place the mystery of God back in the center of our lives,” so that “the Lenten journey is a welcome opportunity to heed the voice of the Lord and renew our commitment to following Christ, accompanying him on the road to Jerusalem.” Click here for more information.
Loving By Bearing Another’s Pain
In his message for this year’s observance, Pope Leo speaks about God’s healing presence in times of weakness. He encourages everyone to be a sign of hope to the sick, not just by caring for them, but also by listening, staying close, and showing love.
The Holy Father reminds us that, although illness often brings pain and uncertainty, it can also be a special time to meet Christ, who stays with those who suffer and never leaves them alone.
