Ash Wednesday Evening 2024
Our heart should remain forever in the chapel with Our Lord. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are the great practices of Lent. The words that were spoken by God to Adam and Eve after the Fall are repeated for us today with the distribution of blessed ashes. We are reminded of our mortality and the passing glory of this world. If we always remember our mortality, we will certainly avoid sin. When we fast it not only makes us weak, but it also brings us closer to God. Christ came to Earth to suffer and die for our sins, and without His suffering we would not be saved. How much do we owe Him in penance; how much do we owe Him in love?
