Ash Wednesday

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.
Gen. 3:19

The areas to work on for these days of Lent include:

• Voluntary Amendment of Life - curb a poor habit to form a good habit to lead one to a life of virtue and ultimately, a life of heroic virtue
• Acts of Penance - little acts of self-denial
• Works of Charity - little acts of kindness
• Spiritual Reading & Meditation - good spiritual reading and taking some quiet time each day to unite oneself more firmly with God
