Imagine, Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, on the same day!
I cannot imagine if this has happened before, but I just could not get it together to get my ashes. I know what I am giving up--chocolate, not to mention those meatless Fridays and tonight! --so that is not a problem. And, of course, each day draws us nearer to the annual screening of "The Song Of Bernadette."
So, as Ash Wednesday begins, begin to think what can be done to help those around you, including our animal friends. Pet a dog or cat, help someone in your building who may need it; I think Sister Camille herself would say that is as important as abstention. It's all about our humanity, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a safe and holy Lent, dears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
