It is a period of conversion, marked by prayer, fasting and almsgiving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Rome, the pope traditionally leads a penitential service in this time, to particularly call people to repentance. This service is marked by reflection and most importantly, confession.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the readings and a homily by the pope, participants are able to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. Pope Francis is usually the first to go to the sacrament. Then, a select few are even able to go to confession to Pope Francis.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony begins at 5 p.m. local Rome time and will last around two hours. Three Friday's later, the Passion of Christ will be remembered in the same place in St. Peter's Basilica.&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 23rd, 2019.
