There, Leo XIV offered the Ash Wednesday Mass, and spoke of \u201ccounter-cultural\u201d repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cIt's rare to find adults who have regrets.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow rare it is to find repentant adults, individuals, companies and institutions that admit they have acted wrongly,\u201d Pope Leo said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/leo-xiv\/es\/homilies\/2026\/documents\/20260218-ceneri.html\">his homily<\/a> in the Basilica of Santa Sabina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, during Lent a people is formed who recognize their sins. These sins are evils that do not come from supposed enemies, but that afflict our hearts and exist in us. We need to respond by courageously taking responsibility for them,\" he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Leo acknowledged that \u201cthis attitude is countercultural,\u201d but \u201cit constitutes an authentic, honest and attractive option, especially in our times, when it is so easy to feel powerless in the face of a world in flames.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cEmbracing the missionary meaning of Lent.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his homily, the Pope pointed to young people as an unexpected sign of openness today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even in secularized contexts, many young people, more than before, are open to the invitation of Ash Wednesday,\" Pope Leo observed. Young people, in particular, clearly understand that it is possible to live a just lifestyle and that there must be accountability for wrongdoing in the Church and in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He invited the faithful to \u201cembrace the missionary meaning of Lent,\u201d not as a distraction from personal conversion, but \u201cin a way that introduces this season to the many restless people of good will who are seeking authentic ways to renew their lives, in the context of the Kingdom of God and his justice.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218T1500-PROCESSION-POPE-LEO-ASH-WEDNESDAY-1813552-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pope Leo XIV imposes ashes during the Ash Wednesday Mass in the Basilica of Santa Sabina, Rome, February 18, 2026 (CNS Photo\/Lola Gomez).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Italian custom of ashes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Leo received ashes scattered on his head according to Italian custom, before imposing them on the cardinals and some of the faithful present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe perceive in the ashes imposed on us the weight of a world in flames, of entire cities destroyed by war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is also reflected in the ashes of international law and of justice among peoples, in the ashes of entire ecosystems and of harmony among peoples, in the ashes of critical thinking and of ancient local wisdom, in the ashes of that sense of the sacred that dwells in every creature,\u201d Pope Leo added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closing of Vatican II 60 years ago&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pope recalled that 60 years ago, on the Ash Wednesday following the closing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osvnews.com\/?s=Vatican+II\">Vatican Council II<\/a>, St. Paul VI had warned about the \u201cfundamental pessimism\u201d of the modern world and its tendency to proclaim \u201c\u2019the inevitable vanity of everything, the immense sadness of life, the metaphysics of the absurd and of nothingness\u2019\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday we can recognize that his words were prophetic,\u201d Pope Leo added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pope also reflected on the importance of the tradition of the Lenten Season, in which pilgrims pray at the tombs of Rome's first Christian martyrs. The Basilica of Santa Sabina, where Pope Leo officiated at Mass, is the first church of the Roman Station pilgrimage. The basilica dates back to 422 AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PapabendiceMiercolesCeniza.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pope Leo XIV blesses as he leads a penitential procession to the Basilica of Santa Sabina to celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass in Rome February 18, 2026 (Photo OSV News\/Matteo Minnella, Reuters).<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ancient and contemporary martyrs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe ancient and contemporary martyrs shine as pioneers on our path to Easter,\u201d he said. \u201cThe ancient Roman tradition of the Lenten stations - which begins today with the first station - is instructive: it refers both to journeying, as pilgrims, and to pausing, statio, in the memories of the martyrs, over which the basilicas of Rome stand.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMight this not perhaps be an invitation to follow in the footsteps of the admirable witnesses to the faith that are found today throughout the world?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the 40-day Lent, during which Christians are called to prayer, fasting and works of charity.
