We go through rituals and adhere to customs, but do we stop to think about why?  Our church is growing because we follow the customs and traditions of our church.  We embrace our catechism.  It makes us stronger.

Ash Wednesday was today.  Take time to reflect on its meaning.  It is not about being holy, it is about reflection, repentance, humility, and the beginning our 40-day journey with Our Lord.
