Catholics around the world marked the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season by receiving ashes and dedicating themselves to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. During his Wednesday general audience, Pope Leo XIV encouraged the faithful to reflect on their words and actions. He specifically urged believers to fast from “hurtful words” as part of their spiritual journey. #Lent #CatholicChurch #PopeLeoXIV #Faith #Prayer #Fasting #Almsgiving

In her address to the General Synod in London, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, set out her priorities, pledging a serious and focused commitment to safeguarding, calling it a “fundamental, non-negotiable responsibility” and acknowledging past failures. Amid deep divisions within the Church of England, she promised to lead with calm, consistency and compassion, urging members to treat one another with love, dignity and respect while strengthening transparency and confronting abuses of power. Mullally also expressed gratitude to synod members, honored the church’s presence in every community, and said her calling is to serve as a collaborative shepherd who enables others to flourish rather than to launch new initiatives. #ArchbishopOfCanterbury #SarahMullally #ChurchOfEngland #GeneralSynod #ChurchLeadership #Safeguarding #FaithAndLeadership #ReligiousNews #ChurchReform #AnglicanChurch

Pope Leo XIV said the word of God is not “fossilized” but living and dynamic, developing and deepening in understanding through the Church over time under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Speaking during his weekly general audience at the Paul VI Audience Hall, he explained that sacred Scripture and sacred tradition are inseparably linked, together forming the Church’s one deposit of faith. Continuing his reflections on *Dei Verbum*, the pope said this living faith helps believers navigate life’s complexities on the path toward eternal life. #PopeLeoXIV #WordOfGod #CatholicChurch #DeiVerbum #SacredTradition #HolySpirit #Vatican #GeneralAudience #FaithAndTradition

Pope Leo XIV encouraged the Societies of Apostolic Life of Regnum Christi to persevere in their mission during an address at the Vatican on Thursday, January 29, given to participants in the entity’s General Assembly. In his remarks, the Pope invited them to reflect deeply on “charism, government, and communion” as essential elements of their identity and service in the Church. He emphasized that, now more than ever, knowing who they are is crucial for engaging in authentic dialogue with society without being absorbed or homogenized. #PopeLeoXIV #Vatican #RegnumChristi

During the March 31, 2001 general conference, President Gordon B. Hinckley announced a bold worldwide education initiative that has since benefited more than 130,000 people. Emphasizing education as a pathway out of poverty and toward self-reliance, he introduced the Perpetual Education Fund (PEF). Inspired by the 19th-century Perpetual Emigration Fund, which helped over 30,000 Church members settle in the Salt Lake Valley, PEF has for 25 years provided educational financial support to Latter-day Saints outside the U.S. and Canada, enabling better employment opportunities and greater self-sufficiency. #PEF #LDSChurch

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced that on Palm Sunday this year — March 29 — local congregations will hold a one-hour sacrament meeting rather than the usual two-hour meeting block. This adjustment is being made because Easter Sunday falls on the same weekend as the 196th Annual General Conference (April 4–5, 2026). #Thechurchofjesuschristoflatter-daysaints #Easter #General#Conference

Elder Kevin G. Brown, of the Seventy, delivered the message “The Eternal Gift of Testimony,” emphasizing that a testimony of Jesus Christ is a sacred and lasting gift from God. He taught that testimonies grow through faith, obedience, and personal experiences with the Lord, rather than instant or dramatic moments. Elder Brown explained that nurturing one’s testimony provides spiritual strength, guidance, and peace throughout life’s challenges. His message highlighted that a testimony, once developed and cared for, can bless individuals eternally. #FaithAndObedience #SpiritualStrength #GeneralConference #ChurchOfJesusChrist
