Ash Wednesday
Tomorrow we begin the season of Lent with Ash Wednesday. The video below uses art to help us learn more about Ash Wednesday.
Catechism of the Catholic Church
CCC 1430 Jesus' call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before him, does not aim first at outward works, "sackcloth and ashes," fasting and mortification, but at the conversion of the heart, interior conversion. Without this, such penances remain sterile and false; however, interior conversion urges expression in visible signs, gestures and works of penance.
