Mass for Ash Wednesday
Channel: Father Paddy Walsh
Date: 2021-02-17

Lent begins today, Ash Wednesday. It's a forty day period in preparation for the Easter Festival.  Jesus was in the Desert for forty days being tempted by Satan.  Our prayer and penance during this sacred season will also help us to see through the subtle temptations of the Evil One.  Ashes also reminds us of our mortality.  The journey through Lent reminds us we are all on a journey to the promised land of Heaven.  Let us not lose sight of our ultimate destiny.
