Ash Wednesday 2021
Neglect of practicing penance during Lent is a cause of the problems we experience in the world today. The virtue of penance is a power from God which makes us hate sin, be sorry for it, make reparation for it and convert because sin offends God Who loves us. Penance spurs us on to mortify our evil tendencies and remove the obstacles during Lent so to make room for Our Lord. The Liturgy teaches us these things and the acts of penance are traditionally known as prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Many ask for penances during Lent and several recommendations are given to help us make a good and holy Lent.
