Readings for Wednesday February 25, 2009

Ash Wednesday

First Reading:  Joel 2:12-18
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 51
Gospel:  Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18


Peace be with all of you on this Ash Wednesday and first day of lent!  

Today, I do not want to go into a longer reflection of the readings, but instead I just want all of us to stop and take a moment to think about how each of us will use this time of lent to grow closer to our Lord.  How will we all sacrifice for Him as He has sacrificed for us?  

Lent can be a great time of spiritual growth, if we really push ourselves and open ourselves up to God's grace.  Let us pray for all of our brothers and sisters who are seeking the Lord during this season of lent.
