We are also invited to reflect on the structural dimensions of our economic systems. For this reason, during Lent, a gathering was organized in Assisi with young economists, entrepreneurs, and innovators to promote a more just and inclusive economy. As Pius XI taught, political engagement can be an important expression of charity.
Finally, through the intercession of Mary Most Holy, we pray that Lent may soften our hearts and open us to reconciliation with God. By focusing on the paschal mystery and entering into sincere dialogue with Him, we can become what Christ calls His disciples to be: the salt of the earth and the light of the world
