Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the sacred season of forty days in which the Church prepares for Easter through prayer, fasting, and repentance. On this day, the faithful receive ashes on their foreheads in the form of a cross, hearing the words: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” or “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” It is a solemn and humble invitation to conversion of heart, to return to God with sincerity, and to renew our faith.

In this video, we offer a collection of traditional Gregorian chants that reflect the spirit of Lent: silence, penitence, supplication, and hope in God’s mercy. Sung in the timeless style of the Church’s sacred tradition, these Catholic chants create an atmosphere of recollection and interior prayer, helping us enter deeply into the meaning of this holy season.

May these sacred hymns and monastic chants accompany you at the beginning of Lent, inspiring repentance, peace, and spiritual renewal. May this Ash Wednesday be a true new beginning — a journey back to the heart of God through prayer, humility, and grace.
