The ash on our foreheads reminds us that we are made of ash, and to that same ash we shall return one day.

Ash Wednesday marks the start of the season of lent in the Christian world. It is a season of penance, reflection, and 40 days of prayer and fasting which prepares Christians for Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Re: Ash Wednesday: The Beginning Of Lent by Nobody: 9:22am On Feb 13, 2013
The theme of lent is prayer fasting and abstinence. You should think of that thing you love doing the most and abstain from it. Achohol, sex, tv, watching soccer or playing music........

WHO IS THE NEW POPE ?
Re: Ash Wednesday: The Beginning Of Lent by Tpharell: 9:31am On Feb 13, 2013
All over the world today Catholics would have their foreheads marked with ashes to humble their heart and as a reminder that life passes away on earth. We remember this when we are told
"Remember, man is dust, and unto dust you shall return"
Re: Ash Wednesday: The Beginning Of Lent by Tpharell: 9:33am On Feb 13, 2013
So when you see Catholics with ash on their foreheads today you understand why.

Re: Ash Wednesday: The Beginning Of Lent by Tpharell: 9:35am On Feb 13, 2013
"Remember, man is dust, and unto dust you shall return"
That's why.
Re: Ash Wednesday: The Beginning Of Lent by vanstanzy(m): 9:45am On Feb 13, 2013
There are Morning masses, Afternoon masses and Evening masses. Pls Catholics and other interested denominations should avail themselves this rear opportunity to receive ash on your foreheads'. This is to remind man that "from dust u came, and to dust u shall return one day" and also in readiness for the 40days fasting and prayer to come. Lets get purified to obtain mercy and present our intentions to the Lord God Almighty.
I haven't received ash, due to work this morning, but will receive it during evening mass. Have u received yours'?

You should study the history of Christianity and Catholicism.

Only Jehovah knows who worships him wholeheartedly.
