The event is over.

See you in Lisieux for Ash Wednesday, on the program:

  • 14 p.m. Lenten introduction conference by Brother Dominique Sterckx, Crypt

“Now is the favorable time, now is the day of salvation”

This good news is announced throughout the Church on Ash Wednesday. She calls us first to renew our desire to follow Jesus and be united to him. We must then take the necessary means to translate into action our intention to grow in true love. In the gospel Jesus invites us to share with our brothers, to pray to our Heavenly Father and to fast, acting with love. How to put this into practice? The conference aims to shed light on these questions and to invite people to take a first step.

“Now is the favorable moment”. Together, in the Church, we are all challenged.

  • 15:30 p.m. Mass of the Ashes

When you give alms, let your left hand ignore what your right hand gives you, so that your alms remains secret; your Father sees what you do in secret.

When you pray, withdraw to the back of your house, close the door, and pray to your Father who is present in secret.

When you fast, perfume your head and wash your face; thus your fast will not be known to men, but only to the Father who is present in secret.

Saint Matthew – chapter 6, verses 1 to 6 and 16 to 18
