Praying Towards Sunday

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, and the Church once again begins Lent.

In entering into this season we are invited to enter into this sacred time to renew our lives through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving/works of charity. We do this in the hope that when Easter comes we can better greet the Risen Christ with hearts that are more joyful, more pure, more open to Him and the needs of one another. As we receive the imposition of ashes tomorrow and remember our common frailty and humanity, may the grace of this act also help us to renew our commitment to Christ as we turn away from sin and become more faithful to His Gospel.
