Ash Wednesday 2011

Direct our hearts to better things, O Lord; heal our sin and ignorance. ~Responsory, Mass for Ash Wednesday

   Father…Each year you give us this joyful season when we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery with mind and heart renewed.
    You give us a spirit of loving reverence for you, our Father, and of willing service to our neighbor.
   As we recall the great events that gave us new life in Christ, you bring the image of your Son to perfection with us.
    Now, with angels and archangels, and the whole company of heaven, we sing the unending hymn of your praise: Holy, holy, holy…

~Preface of Lent I
