This year Ash Wednesday falls on February 18th and it marks the beginning of the Lenten Season. Lent is the time before Easter when we prepare to commemorate Jesus’s Resurrection through prayer, penance, and fasting. It is an opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with God, seek forgiveness for sins, and grow in spiritual discipline.
