But the dude at the window said… “It’s a good thing

Happy Lenten season! Blessings and peace be with you. May our loving God continue to bless and guide us during this special penitential time of reflection and renewal. We began our Lenten Season on Ash Wednesday by receiving ashes to remind us to: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel” (Mark 1:15) or “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19). Receiving ashes signifies repentance as the prophets proclaimed in the scriptures: “I turned to the Lord
