Before I take off for a busy day at work just a reminder to all that today indeed is Ash Wednesday; welcome to Lent 2013. As a Catholic we are obliged today from abstain from meat and fast meaning we should eat the equivalent of two, not three meals. This can be done by eating a full meal and then eating two smaller meals or, of course, we can eat two full meals and skip one! Remember this is not legalism; do this from the heart, immersed in prayer and reflection. Read Scripture today or the Divine Office. Make this Ash Wednesday, whether you have to work or not, a special day to enter into a Lenten journey that prepares us well for Easter.
We will do this again someday, make this life a special life that prepares us for Easter Glory in the life to come!
A Blessed Ash Wednesday and Happy Blessed Lent!!!
