Ash Wednesday & Lent

Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of 2018’s Lent season, a 40-day period dedicated to reflection, prayer and fasting ahead of Easter takes place this Wednesday the 14th of February. On Ash Wednesday, Catholics and many other Christians will have ashes applied to their foreheads in the shape of a cross. People generally wear the ashes — which symbolize penance, mourning and mortality — throughout the day to publicly express their faith and penance. Anyone who would like to receive the Ashes is encouraged to go to their local parish to do so. Ash Wednesday is also one of the only two remaining days in the Catholic Church Calendar where Catholics in good health are obliged to fast and abstinence. Fasting is the reduction of one’s intake of food. Abstinence is the abstaining from the eating of meat.
The highlight of the year for Christians is Easter, the day when our Lord rose from the dead. Lent is a forty-day season of preparation for Easter. Lent always begins on a Wednesday, called Ash Wednesday. Why 40 days? Because, Jesus fasted and was tempted in the wilderness for 40 days. Lent, then, is our time of fasting, prayer, temptation and repentance. During Lent many Christians make a special effort to focus on prayer, giving up an indulgence, taking up a virtuous practice, and doing good works for others. Here are some suggestions of what you could do this Lenten season:
Attend lunch time Mass in the College Chapel
Help us organise something for charity
Read the Bible every day
Do a Random Act of Kindness for someone (without expecting a reward)
Pray every morning and night or why not attend morning prayer on Thursday's in the College Chapel from 8.30-8.45
Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (penance) - Fr Cryan will be offering this throughout Lent
Make a conscious effort to be nicer to those around you - family, friends, classmates
Take a Trocaire Box and fill it up or donate to a charity
Pope Francis on Lent:
“Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor. God’s voice is no longer heard, the quiet joy of his love is no longer felt, and the desire to do good fades. We end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor, weeping for other people’s pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all this were someone else’s responsibility and not our own.”
Whatever you decide to do this Lent, do it with love.
