Today is Ash Wednesday - the first day of Lent.
During Lent, we remember the forty days that Jesus spent in the desert, praying and fasting.
During Lent, we show that we are followers of Jesus:
🙏 by making promises to give up something we like,
🙏 by praying and
🙏 by sharing what we have with others.
This morning we watched as Fr. Tremer blessed the ashes during Mass. Later this morning, he visited our school and distributed the ashes to all the children. Thank you Fr. Tremer for taking the time to visit all the classes today.
A Prayer for Lent
Jesus our friend, you spent forty days in the desert, preparing to do God’s work. May we, during this holy season of Lent, try our best to follow you, and to grow in love with God and with others. Amen.
