Join Pope Francis and millions of Catholics worldwide in the 10th edition of “24 Hours for the Lord” on Laetare Sunday. This initiative, promoted by the Dicastery for Evangelization, invites faithful and pilgrims to stop by at any moment for adoration and the opportunity to go to confession. At the Penitential Liturgy in Rome’s parish of Santa Maria delle Grazie al Trionfale, Pope Francis reminded us that the sacrament of Reconciliation is a festal encounter that heals the heart and leaves us with inner peace.
