President Marcos, says Filipinos should practice “quiet reflection” this Ash Wednesday

PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., said Filipinos should carry out a “quiet reflection” as he tweeted about the start of the Lenten season where the Catholic faithful lined up for Ash Wednesday.

“We pray for our nation’s quiet reflection… As we prepare for the season of Lent, may the love of Christ inspire us to endure and faithfully continue our service to others,” the president said in his twitter account.

Ash is usually being applied on the Catholics’ foreheads.

The event signals the start of the Lenten season that is to last for 40 days and culminates on Easter Sunday, which falls on April 9 this year.

The Archdiocese of Manila had issued a circular where it said that they will allow anew the practice of Ash Wednesday, which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
