LENTEN REFLECTION! DAY 2 (7th March 2019) (Thursday after Ash Wednesday)
Read: Luke 9:23
If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him
renounce himself and take up his cross everyday
and follow me. For anyone who wants to save
his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life
for my sake, that man will save it
A moment of silence to meditate on the Word of God
Reflect:  To be a disciple of Jesus is a personal
decision and choice. Do I consider myself a
follower or a disciple of Jesus?  To be a disciple of Jesus involves making
sacrifices. What must I renounce or give up
in order to follow Jesus?  To be a disciple of Jesus means putting him
first in my life. How do I make Jesus the
Lord of my life?
Pray: Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you because in
spite of my unworthiness and weaknesses, you
still call me to follow you and be your disciple.
Therefore, give me the grace to respond to your
call and the strength to do your will everyday of
my life. Amen. “Do not be afraid to be saints. Follow Jesus
Christ who is the source of freedom and light. Be
opened to the Lord so that He may lighten all
your ways.” Pope John Paul II

is one of the most and important holy days in the liturgical . Ash Wednesday opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer.

on forehandAsh takes place 46 days before , and is chiefly observed by , although many other observe it too.

Ash Wednesday comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting. The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us. As the priest applies the ashes to a person's forehead, he speaks the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." Alternatively, the priest may speak the words, "Repent and believe in the Gospel." Ashes also symbolize grief, in this case, grief that we have sinned and caused division from God.

Writings from the Second-century Church refer to the wearing of ashes as a sign of penance.

Priests administer ashes during Mass and all are invited to accept the ashes as a visible symbol of penance. Even non-Christians and the excommunicated are welcome to receive the ashes. The ashes are made from blessed palm branches, taken from the previous year's palm Sunday Mass.

It is important to remember that Ash Wednesday is a day of penitential prayer and fasting. Some faithful take the rest of the day off work and remain home. It is generally inappropriate to dine out, to shop, or to go about in public after receiving the ashes. Feasting is highly inappropriate. Small children, the elderly and sick are exempt from this observance.

Priest applying ashesIt is not required that a person wear the ashes for the rest of the day, and they may be washed off after Mass. However, many people keep the ashes as a reminder until the evening.

Recently, movements have developed that involve pastors distributing ashes to passersby in public places. This isn't considered taboo, but Catholics should know this practice is distinctly Protestant. Catholics should still receive ashes within the context of Mass.

In some cases, ashes may be delivered by a priest or a family member to those who are sick or shut-in.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent!
