Some people have used Jesus' words in Matthew 6;16-17 to reject the practice of applying ashes on Ash Wednesday. But such simple signs of penitence were not what Jesus was addressing. In Matthew 6:16-17, Jesus is addressing the OSTENTATIOUS display of religion. In his time, there were religious fanatics who fasted to the point of emaciation or wanted to appear as if they did. They not only didn't eat, but they also wore ashes on their head, sackcloth on their bodies, and didn't groom. They...

Its Time for Lent!
We prepare for the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection during Lent, a period of 40 days of fasting and prayer, starting on Ash Wednesday and concluding on Holy Thursday. Lenten meditation and prayer books will help you to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for Christ’s ultimate sacrifice and supreme act of love and mercy for each and every one of us. Divine Mercy Sunday is celebrated on the Octave of Easter (the Sunday after Easter Sunday) so you can include the Divine Mercy in your Easter preparation. 217
Decoration for Lent
Let us pray that as we begin the season of lent we embrace the opportunity to: Fast from hurting words and say kind words. Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude. Fast from anger and be filled with patience. Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope. Fast from worries and have trust in God. Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity. Fast from pressures and be prayerful. Fast from bitterness and fill our hearts with joy. Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others. Fast from grudges and be reconciled. Fast from words and be silent so we can listen. We pray that our only desire and our one choice is to choose what better leads to the deepening of God's life in us.
