President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. joined the country’s commemoration of Ash Wednesday.

“We pray for our nation’s quiet reflection this Ash Wednesday,” Marcos said.

“As we prepare for the season of Lent, may the love of Christ inspire us to endure and faithfully continue our service to others,” he added.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the 40-day observance of Lent, commemorating Jesus Christ’s 40 days of fasting. –gb
