Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent..

Watch the video below to learn what Lent is..



"Remember, man, that thou art dust,
and unto dust thou shalt return."
"Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverum reverteris."



With ashes imposed on our foreheads,

we are reminded of our frailty and mortality,

and are called to humility and repentance..

God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me..
