Ash Wednesday Evening 2026
Through the sacramental of ashes, we are reminded of our end.  We came from the dust, and because of our sins, we are destined to return to dust once again.  If we hope to be prepared on our deathbed we must make prayer second nature to us.  We are called to imitate the Son of God always, but especially this Lent.  The purpose of the penances of this season is not simply to suffer, but to suffer with the goal of raising our souls to heaven.  “In all thy works, remember thy last end and thou shalt never sin.”
