In the face of so many wounds that hurt us and could lead to a hardness of heart, we are called to dive into the sea of prayer, which is the sea of the boundless love of God, in order to experience his tenderness, the Pope said. Ash Wednesday, Pope Francis gave a homily focused on a line from the prophet Joel: Rend your hearts, not your garments. Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy, the pope said. The need for conversion is clear, he said. There is something not right with us, with our society, with the church and we need to change, to turn, to convert!
