Today is Ash Wednesday, which begins the season of Lent. Lent has two major purposes: It recalls or prepares for Baptism, and emphasizes a spirit of penance. https://t.co/tUMXNGy8MX https://t.co/DgbpjNKtPN

Ash Wednesday was an opportunity to reflect on ourselves and the ways that we can become better Catholics throughout Lent. We’ve been learning about the 3 pillars of Lent - fast, pray, and give and today we wore our blue and gold and spent time praying especially for Ukraine 🇺🇦 https://t.co/ykj3eVX6V3

Today is Ash Wednesday, at least on the Christian calendar. It is the beginning of the season of Lent. Read that “Lent” originally meant “spring” and it is a time renewal. Watch the full #Inspiration on Facebook or Instagram @daughtersofshebafoundation https://t.co/FGZl6MeO0G

It was so wonderful to have Deacon Doug in our building today for Ash Wednesday. We’ve missed his smiling face. @CCSD_edu https://t.co/MhSaLLkWtr

Create in me a clean heart. Today, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of lent. It is a time of fasting, almsgiving & prayer. I hope you all have a prayerful and reflective 40 days. @OLWChestermere #AshWednesday #IBelieveInCatholicEd https://t.co/Z2urLGwsjS

Today is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent - the forty days before Easter. Pope Francis has asked all Christians to pray for the peace of Ukraine today. As a way of marking Lent, I'll be reading NT Wright's book, "Surprised by Hope." I'll be posting weekly reflections

Ash Wednesday in 2022

Ash Wednesday is mainly a Catholic observance in which ashes are marked on the forehead of parishioners in the shape of a cross. The ashes are meant as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.
