Cardinal Joseph Tobin's Ash Wednesday Lenten message

Ash Wednesday is a beginning of a 40-day Lenten journey and reminds us of who we are and our need to turn to God, says Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., in this new video recorded at Saint Patrick’s Pro-Cathedral in Newark, N.J. Lent is a time to work out our faith by listening to the Word of God and reconnecting with God through the sacrament of reconciliation or through daily prayer, he continues. It’s also a time to reconnect to ourselves, our true life, to glimpse what we look like as God sees us, and not simply what stares back at us in the mirror or what we’re told we should look like on social media, Cardinal Tobin says. #AshWednesday #Lent #CardinalTobin #NewarkArchdiocese #ArchdioceseofNewark
