Today is Valentine's Day! It's time for all the red, pink, flowers, and chocolate we can cram into one day!
But wait. Today is also Ash Wednesday. Time for fasting, penance, and prayer.
Combining the two may be a challenge, but I am ready to give it a try!
Happy Valentine's Day!
And, if you observe, a Blessed Ash Wednesday, too!

Happy Valentine's Day and a blessed Ash Wednesday to you too. May your Lent be fruitful in whatever way you're called!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday. It is a bit of a challenge combining the two but we can do it!! Have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteJesus' sacrifice is the ultimate gift of love, so not inappropriate for Valentine's Day!

Dearest Billie Jo,
ReplyDeleteBoth of us drove one hour to a 150 year old Church for the Ash Wednesday service at noon.
Beautiful drive in the sunshine.
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Hugs,
Mariette
Have a great day either way!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, and may you be blessed remembering the greatest sacrifice the Lord made! A challenge, indeed, but I know you will find a special way to do it :)
ReplyDeleteOh Billlie Jo, I missed that. Have so many things on my mind right now, and those pesky things we have to take care of all seems to come at once. No excuse though. Thank you, dear one, for reminding me. I'll continue on with this Ash Wednesday. : )
