Join In Penance

Ash Wednesday Evening 2019
Lent begins with the moving Epistle from the Prophet Joel which calls on all, especially the priests, to do penance for sin and thereby receive from God the blessings of His gifts.  Through prayer, fasting and almsgiving we separate ourselves from evil tendencies and open up to the infusion of God’s life.  The sacramental of the Ashes should be received with as much devotion, sorrow and love so to obtain the riches of grace being offered.
