The Vatican said Friday that Cardinal
Angelo De Donatis will replace Pope Francis at next week's
liturgical celebration for Ash Wednesday in Rome.
"On the first day of Lent there will be a celebration, in the
form of the Roman "Stations", presided over by His Eminence
Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, major penitentiary and delegate of
the Holy Father Francis, with the following procedure," the
Vatican said.
"At 16.30, in the Church of Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino, the
liturgy of the Stations will begin, followed by the penitential
procession towards the Basilica of Santa Sabina.
"The Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, Benedictine Monks of
Sant'Anselmo, the Dominican Fathers of Santa Sabina and some of
the faithful will participate in the procession.
"At the end of the procession, in the Basilica of Santa Sabina,
the Eucharistic Celebration will take place, with the rite of
the blessing and imposition of the ashes".
