So it works out to be a nickel per person. But do we sacrifice our time and energy to come to Ash Wednesday Mass just to receive a free nickel’s worth of ashes? I don’t think so. I venture to say that we come to Mass because we desire to return to God who is slow to anger, rich in kind- ness, gracious, and merciful. Perhaps our relationships with family and friends are not where they should be. Or perhaps we want to reset priorities in our lives, to regain freedom in ing or it may devolve into a selfish act of making us more areas of our lives which we have allowed trivial things or appealing according to worldly standards.

Caution here is that our almsgiving is to be Instrucons on Receiving Ashes done without fanfare or desire for public recognition. Our almsgiving is supposed to be an interior act of love because The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of we love God, and we want to manifest his love to others. the Sacraments published guidance on 12 January regarding the Distribution of Ashes on Ash Wednesday. In the Diocese Almsgiving touches upon two other spiritual disciplines-- of Baton Rouge, we will adopt this guidance, and I ask the prayer and fasting.

God. The third spiritual discipline is fasting. Fasting helps to free our bodies and spirits from the worldly desires that threaten to pull us off our spiritual path. As we learn to do without and make sacrifices on behalf of others, we open up a space to allow God to lay claim again to our attention. It would not be an exaggeration to say that food is an obsession in our culture. Fasting is not dieting. Just as almsgiving without prayer is philanthropy, fasting without prayer is simply a strict diet.
