Summary
In an effort to emphasize Lent, the Holy See initiated Quaresima, the period of prayer and fasting preceding Easter. Pope Francis reminded believers that they are dust and will return to dust with a verse from Psalm 90:3. The Holy Father followed up by outlining guidelines according to Traditional Church customs. Archbishop Marcello Semeraro, representing the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, stated these guidelines aim to foster a deeper devotion during Lent. Additionally, Cardinal Marc Ouellet has been appointed as the new Prefect of the Congregation. These appointments underscore the Holy See’s commitment to maintaining traditional practices while also ensuring that they are relevant in contemporary times.
