๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a sacred season of prayer, fasting, and reflection. The ashes placed on our foreheads remind us of our human frailty and our constant need for Godโs mercy, calling us to turn away from sin and renew our hearts. โฃ๏ธ
As we begin this journey, we are invited to walk more intentionally in faith, humility, and love. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and repentance that prepares Christians for Easter. The tradition of receiving ashes comes from an ancient biblical practice symbolizing humility, mourning, and a desire to turn back to God, reminding believers of the words, โRemember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.โ
See you all this coming Wednesday, 18 February 2026 at Saint Vincent Ferrer Parish Church, Bitoon at 5:00 PM to officially start the Lent Season of the liturgical year! โชโจ

Lord, as we begin this season of Lent, humble our hearts and renew our spirits. Help us turn away from sin, grow in faith, and walk more closely with You through prayer, sacrifice, and love for others. Amen.
