In journeying towards Easter, we can make two passages: first, from dust to life, from our fragile humanity to the humanity of Jesus, who heals us. We can halt in contemplation before the Crucified Lord and repeat: Jesus, you love me, transform me… Jesus, you love me, transform me. And once we have received his love, once we have wept at the thought of that love, we can make the second passage, by determining never to fall again from life into dust. ( excerpt from Pope Francis Homily on Ash Wednesday – February 26, 2020 at the Basilica of Santa Sabina, Rome)
