Catholics Worldwide Begin 40-day Lenten Season Tomorrow by 360metrosports: 1:09pm On Feb 28, 2017 |
Catholics all over the world will on Wednesday mark the 2017 Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the 40-day Lenten Season. Msgr. Gabriel Osu, the Director of Social Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos. According to Osu, the Lenten Season is a period of 40 days during which Christians are encouraged to intensify prayers, abstinence, fasting and alms giving. “In Catholic Churches all over the world, the faithful are expected to receive ash on their foreheads as a sign of repentance and a reminder that we all come from ash and will someday return to ash. “Here in the Archdiocese of Lagos, the faithful will be led into the Lenten Season by the Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev. Adewale Martins at the Holy Cross Cathedral,’’ Osu said.

Our prayer is that the fruit of the season will continue to germinate and bear more fruits in our daily lives,’’ he said. http://www.metronaija.com/2017/02/catholics-worldwide-begin-40-day-lenten.html cc: lalasticlala mynd44 |
