At both of this morning鈥檚 Masses in 天美影院, Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel filled to standing room only. Head Chaplain Rev. Robert Marczewski asked the congregation to consider the nature of Lent, the penances and resolutions Catholics are called to practice, and why they do so. 鈥淲e make reparations for our sins and the sins of others,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e pray for conversion, so that people may come to God with a new heart 鈥 a new desire for holiness.鈥
Marked with the symbol of Our Lord鈥檚 cross, students went about the rest of their day in fasting and atonement, devoting themselves to a mindset of peaceful endurance, maintained over the next 40 days of prayer, penance, and almsgiving.
