Looking forward to Ash
Wednesday with Pope Francis at Sant’Anselmo
Fr Bernard Eckerstorfer is the Rector of the Pontifical
University of Sant’Anselmo. He says he is looking forward to participating in
the Ash Wednesday liturgical ceremonies with Pope Francis.
On Ash Wednesday, Pope Francis will preside at the
traditional "stational" liturgy for the beginning of Lent in
Rome.
Following an ancient custom revived by Pope St John XXIII,
Pope Francis will join the faithful at the church of Sant'Anselmo on the
Aventine Hill. From there, the Holy Father will lead a penitential procession
to the station church, the nearby Basilica of Santa Sabina, where he will
celebrate the Mass for Ash Wednesday, with the blessing and imposition of
ashes.
In addition to faithful from the diocese of Rome, the
liturgy will be attended by numerous Cardinals, Bishops, and clergy, as well as
men and women religious, including the Dominican Fathers of Santa Sabina, and
the Benedictine monks of Sant'Anselmo.

Saint Anselm, Benedictine Father Bernhard Eckerstorfer, says he is looking
forward to taking part in the liturgy with Pope Francis.
