Lent: a Time for Renewing Faith, Hope and Love

Pope Francis focuses on the three theological virtues in his Lenten message for 2021, inviting the faithful to “renew our faith, draw from the living waters of hope, and receive with open hearts the love of God.” Grounding his reflection on the Paschal Mystery, the Pope says, “This Lenten journey� is even now illumined by the light of the resurrection, which inspires the thoughts, attitudes, and decisions of the followers of Jesus.”
