Sunday Gospels Readings and Reflections
MIYERKULES NG ABO
Ash Wednesday is a reminder of our frailty to burst our pride, to remind us of what is important and of where our life is leading. There is repentance for our pride as we receive our ashes at Mass, but Lent is also hope-filled, as in our frailty we hope in God's merciful love. Our Lenten practices of increased prayer, fasting and almsgiving all serve to focus the mind and re-attune the heart, so that we can renew our friendship with the Lord. Life is filled with so much to do, and so much to distract us.
