"We will share with others, including people of different faiths and no religious faith, the joys and struggles of this spiritual journey." (Chapter Statement)
In his message for Lent this year (22 February - 6 April 2023), Pope Francis addressed both the journey of Lent and the Catholic Church’s ongoing Synod on Synodality, encouraging us all to listen to what Jesus wants to tell us through the Scriptures and through others, especially those most in need.
