Morning Prayer - WEDNESDAY, 2 Mar 2022

Morning Prayer - March 2, 2022 | Ash Wednesday

The time has now come in the Church year for the solemn observance of the great central act of history, the redemption of the human race by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the Roman Rite, the beginning of the forty days of penance is marked with the austere symbol of ashes which is used in today's liturgy. The use of ashes is a survival from an ancient rite according to which converted sinners submitted themselves to canonical penance. The Alleluia and the Gloria are suppressed until Easter.

Pope Francis has everyone to participate in a Day of Fasting for Peace on this Ash Wednesday. (Catholic Culture)
