Today is/was Ash Wednesday. It marks the first day of Lent and 40 days of fasting and repentance. Today's service was different than what I'm used to. Today, the priest put holy water in the ashes to create a more sticky paste to put on your forehead. Another thing that's different here is that we read the Nicene creed, but in the Missal it says, "Read the Apostle's creed if this is a children's mass". ha....
Dy and i have decided to give up all junk food for lent. My main vices are gummy bears and cookies, so this will be a challenge for me. Hope you all are giving something up too. The priest said that Lent is not supposed to feel like any other time. That's one of the reasons why we fast and give something up. We're supposed to feel the pinch of Lent.
