Ash Wednesday

2/19/2016

2 Comments

 
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the time of fasting and preparation for Easter.  The Old Testament book of Jonah tells of a city of sinners that humble themselves by wearing rags and ashes.  After God saw everyone from the King to the beasts turn from their evil ways, our Lord spared them.
 
  • What do the ashes we receive on Ash Wednesday symbolize?
  • What does the phrase, “you are dust and to dust you shall return”, mean to you?
  • Consider the Italian proverb, “After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box”. Share what this means to you in a few sentences (3+)
  • Give an example of two types of Lenten commitments.  Why do we, as Catholics, make Lenten commitments?

there is a spiritual lent commitment like praying and fasting and there is another personal commitment like giving up something besides meat. Like your phone tv internet or a favorite meal.
