Ash Wednesday
Matthew 6:1-6. 16-18
Jesus teaches that almsgiving, prayer, and fasting should be done in secret.
Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.
Yesterday, on Ash Wednesday Fr Michael marked our foreheads with a cross made of ashes as a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and as a sign that we are truly sorry for the wrong things we have done. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Each year, the readings for Ash Wednesday are the same. They call us to a change of heart and teach us about the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
