Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of penance, reflection, and fasting that prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday, through which we attain redemption. Ash Wednesday is one of the most popular and important holy days in the liturgical calendar. It opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer.


Ash Wednesday occurs 46 days before Easter Sunday and is chiefly observed by Catholics, although many other Christians also observe it.

Look Upon a Little Child

Lord, look upon a little child, By nature sinful, weak and wild; O lay Thy gracious hands on me, And make me all I ought to be. Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child; Pity my simplicity Suffer me to come to Thee. O supply my every want Feed this young and tender plant Day and night my keeper be, And every moment watch round me. Amen!
