Ash Wednesday is typically known to be a "Catholic" day and other religions follow it also. Though many attempt to sacrifice, give up, do something "less" or not at all during these 40 days....let us urge you to DO MORE.
Forgive others
Love others
Listen to others without judgement
Avoid words that are hurtful to others or yourself
Speak kindly to others and to yourself.
Help those in need
Take better care of yourself
Be a good neighbor
Smile more.
“Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgement, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves,” he said. “Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities.” ~Pope Leo XIV
