Today is Ash Wednesday +

TODAY,
 February 13,
 marks the beginning of the 40-day liturgical period of prayer and fasting as the Catholic faithful observe Ash Wednesday,
 the start of the Lenten season. +

Let us find a  quiet time and place  to pray...

take a few deep breaths...

be still...

and know that God is near...

Prayer for Ash Wednesday:

Lord, help me turn away

from anything that leads me away from You

and keep me faithful to the Word

that leads my heart to Yours.

Amen.
