Ash Wednesday

The name of the day comes from the custom that churchgoers are marked on the forehead with a cross of ash to symbolize death and regret for past sins. The priest will accompany the marking with a recital of Genesis 3:19 - "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return". The tradition of marking with ashes began in the

early church as a way for persistent sinners to outwardly show their desire for repent-ance. By the end of the 10th century, the custom had spread to all the faithful.

Traditionally the ashes are created from burning the palms used in the church on Palm Sunday the previous year. Palm Sunday marked

the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem after his 40 days and nights in the desert.

During the 40 days before Easter, Roman Catholics are supposed to abstain from all bodily pleasures, in-cluding the consumption of meat. This is intended to remember the fasting of Jesus, who spent 40 days in the desert before beginning his ministry. In the Catho-

lic Church, Lent gets off to an appropriate start with Ash Wednesday as it is a day of fasting, abstinence from meat and repentance.

The most profound call to repentance is experienced as we go before the

Cross this Lenten season, as we kneel there along with our Blessed Mother,

as we gaze upon our loving Savior who gave entirely of himself for love of us

even though we are sinners.

St. Maximus the Confessor once wrote: 'God's will is to save us, and nothing pleases him more than our coming

back to Him in true repentance'
