A little Ash Wednesday humor courtesy of the Catholic Cartoon Blog. :-)
It has come, much later then usual.
Ash Wednesday is finally here and personal life willing, I hope to get ashes at the 7AM service this morning.
I remember so vividly kneeling at the altar rail in St. Ignatius and being told to push my bangs to the sides, to give the priest a good shot at getting the ashes on my forehead. Against orders, of course, I would always leave the presence of the Priest and immediately move them back into position, to hide the fact that I had them. A big relief to me then and what is funny about the whole situation, is that I still feel that way, every single year.
Bad Catholic...

ReplyDeleteOh well, I went to Church this morning at 7 and found out the ashes didn't get distributed until 7:30AM. Too late for me. God will just have to understand. :-)
