“Let us set out on the path of fasting and use these 40 days to take stock of ourselves, to free ourselves from the dictatorship of full schedules, crowded agendas, and superficial needs, and choose the things that truly matter,” the pope said on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 22.
“This,” he said, “is the favorable time to be converted, to stop looking at ourselves and to start looking into ourselves.”
