Today is Ash Wednesday, when we mark the beginning of Lent. Suitable Lenten reading is the Pope's Lenten Message. It is available in English on the Vatican site here. A translation into Finnish is available in the Diocesan magazine Fides. Go to page 7 in this issue of the magazine (pdf) and share it with your Finnish-speaking friends and acquaintances - or use it to improve your Finnish. For a Swedish version, please go to the Vatican Radio site here.

Pope Francis, speaking mostly in Italian (English subtitles are provided) asks us to pray for each other, for Christian unity and for himself.
As we are heading into Lent, we encourage our readers to follow the advice of the pope and go to confession. If you would like to learn more about the Sacrament of Penance, please click here for a link to the section on Confession in the Cathecism of the Catholic Church
