I encourage all to book mass for
1.a friend in need.
2. to all who dont have anyone to pray for them.
3.and to all catholics to strengthin their Faith.

I encourage you all to remember to pray more for people around you.

as for me my prayer intension for Nl catholics
is for the almighty God to reveil him self more to us.

Ash Wednesday is not written anywhere in the Bible; It is a concept by some people, majorly the roman catholic. The basis cannot be traced to the Bible and we must avoid practices that lead us back to Idol worship. Christians are to fast and pray every time and not necessary during lent alone. We are to fast and pray and fight a good fight of faith. Any practices that cannot be traced to the Bible are heresies drawing us back to idol worship. BEWARE!!

>Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday, through which we attain redemption.
>Why we receive the ashes
>Following the example of the Nine vites, who did penance in sackcloth and ashes, our foreheads are marked with ashes to humble our hearts and reminds us that life passes away on Earth. We remember this when we are told
>"Remember, Man is dust, and unto dust you shall return."
>Ashes are a symbol of penance made sacramental by the blessing of the Church, and they help us develop a spirit of humility and sacrifice.
>The distribution of ashes comes from a ceremony of ages past. Christians who had committed grave faults performed public penance. On Ash Wednesday, the Bishop blessed the hair shirts which they were to wear during the forty days of penance, and sprinkled over them ashes made from the palms from the previous year. Then, while the faithful recited the Seven Penitential Psalms, the penitents were turned out of the church because of their sins -- just as Adam, the first man, was turned out of Paradise because of his disobedience. The penitents did not enter the church again until Maundy Thursday after having won reconciliation by the toil of forty days' penance and sacramental absolution. Later, all Christians, whether public or secret penitents, came to receive ashes out of devotion. In earlier times, the distribution of ashes was followed by a penitential procession.
>The Ashes
>The ashes are made from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday celebration of the previous year. The ashes are christened with Holy Water and are scented by exposure to incense. While the ashes symbolize penance and contrition, they are also a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts. His Divine mercy is of utmost importance during the season of Lent, and the Church calls on us to seek that mercy during the entire Lenten season with reflection, prayer and penance.

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

Dominus vobiscum

Sorry, but we were made of dust, not ash. No offence, I guess I'm just OCD'd on fundamental errors like this.
