Live from Rome: the Statio, Penitential Procession and Holy Mass with the blessing and imposition of ashes presided over by Pope Leo XIV on Ash Wednesday.
The celebration begins at the Church of Sant’Anselmo on the Aventine Hill with the traditional statio and penitential procession to the Basilica of Saint Sabina, where the Holy Father celebrates Holy Mass marking the beginning of the Lenten season. Ash Wednesday opens the forty days of preparation for Easter, a time of conversion, prayer and penance for the entire Catholic Church.
