This is Andrew’s three years of receiving his ashes and my sixth and I look forward to this every year. The night before we celebrate Mardi Gras and the next day to start the Lenten season we receive our ashes and remind ourselves that we are dust and one day we will return to dust.
Does anyone else feel like Superman showing his “S” when they wear their ashes on this day? Before I became catholic and saw people wearing their ashes on this day I was confused and had no idea why anyone who would do that. Then I learned about the practice and became proud to wear my ashes today. I love getting them then running errands, I enjoy the nods we get and give each other as we see others wearing theirs. It’s such a wonderful form of community.
