Ash Wednesday

Lent starts with Ash Wednesday - for everyone, not just me.  I will start my day with mass and ashes at 6:30 a.m.

I have been pondering and praying about what to "do" for lent.  I wanted to add in some activity as well as well as give up something.

I have decided to go to mass or adoration every day of lent.  And also to give up a whole host of horrible dietary excesses.  This may not sound like a lot, but take my word, it is.

My prayer is that this lent readies me for Easter.

    It does sound difficult to me. I hope it's transformative for you. God bless.

    We will pray for you, as you will for us, to be able to keep to our Lenten promises.

    I would find it difficult to attend daily mass, at least out here, particularly if you work. Between that and changing your diet I think it's very hard! You'll do fine.
