. It is the start of the forty days preparation for Easter celebration. Time for repentance, fasting and abstinence. Ash Wednesday
derives from the ritual of placing ashes on the foreheads of penitents as a sign of repentance. The ashes used are from the Palm leaves from the last years Palm Sunday. Priests burned it and mixed it the sacred oil and anoint the people. Priests said these words: " Remember, that you are dust, and to dust you shall return:. or some priests may say : " Repent and believe the gospel."
These Prayer books can help us in our prayer life and daily reflections. I have the Life of St. Therese of Lisieux and some pocket prayer books that I prayed at home or while I am traveling. It`s good to have one, it deepens our faith and our devotions.
Have a Blessed Ash Wednesday everyone!
