You are invited to bring your palm crosses and palm fronds to St. Francis
by
Sunday, February 17,
for use on Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019.
ASH WEDNESDAY
Ash Wednesday is the first day in the Christian season of Lent.
The early Christians adopted the use of ashes as an external mark of penitence.
The ashes used are typically produced out of the palms of the previous year's Palm Sunday.
When the ashes are distributed on ASH WEDNESDAY, the Celebrant proclaims
"
Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Prayer attributed to St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
